Thank you for this list, Emily! We bought the Milepost for 2023, thinking we were going to Alaska in 2024. We will delay at least a year, so likely getting the 2024 issue too. 🙂
This is the best guide for Alaska! We lived up there 3 years, drove up there and back once, cruised up there 3 times, and flown up there once! Even good reading if you are not traveling there!
