The World Beyond BetterMost > Anything Goes
Alaska; Petersburg, Wrangell or Ketchikan?
CoyotePiper:
Since you mentioned Petersburg AK, you might like to stop there as it has a tie in to Into the Wild. John Krakauer interrupts his story about the tragic life of Chris McCandless to go on a tangent of his own period of self discovery - similar to McCandless's . He details his attempt at a solo ascent of 'The Devil's Thumb' a mountain peak visible from Petersburg.
Definitely read the book and see the film. I've enjoyed every one of Krakauer's books. I'm getting ready for my first trip to Alaska and Petersburg is a priority stop. As is a trip to see bus 142 out near Healy Alaska.
