Kayaking the Inside Passage: A Paddling Guide from Olympia, Washington to Muir Glacier, Alaska

by Robert H. Miller

The Inside Passage is something of a holy grail for contemporary sea kayakers. It is without question the most scenic and challenging paddling trip in North America. Kayaking the Inside Passage will aid kayakers both in planning and in carrying out paddling trips on the rugged Pacific artery that runs along the western edge of North America.

It is a complete through-trip guide to sea kayaking the entire 1,300-mile length of the Inside Passage along one select route with some alternate variations. This route runs from Olympia, Washington, past Vancouver Island and up through Glacier Bay National Park in Alaska. No other paddling guide covers the entire length of the Inside Passage. There are 33 maps, 50 photos, and pen-and-ink illustrations. Miller includes complete historical and natural background along with proficiency and equipment recommendations. 50 black & white photographs, 33 maps, index.

I paddled the inside passage in 2002. It was interesting to read Robert Miller's insights about the trip. It is always fun to compare your experiences with those of others. This is a fun read even if you don't plan to paddle north to Skagway. Better still grab you kayak or rowboat and head north yourself!
