Which trail is the best trail in Alaska to hike? The one you’re hiking on, of course! Pick out a trail and gear up!
Hiking Alaska is like hiking an area the size of thirteen states. It’s as big as Texas times two. Alaska has the largest National Park on the continent, the highest mountains, the longest rivers, and the largest and smallest National Forest. Alaska is a state with cities and towns nestled in prime hiking land and pristine wilderness.
The Greatland beckons hikers to the tortuous Chilkoot Trail, winter wonderland White Mountain playground, sand dune deserts as far north as Nome, and bubbling hot springs above the Arctic Circle. It summons to the summit of Mt. McKinley and the quarter-mile pack to photograph a mountain sheep, to deep echoing sounds along the islands of the Panhandle, the Greatland beckons people who love to get into the backcountry—hikers!
Alaska hiking trails are accessed by road, boat, train, or plane. Most of them sight glaciers, abundant wildlife, and surprising plant life. Many are not trails at all. They are walks above timberline, out of the brush, and off the beaten path.
Alaska is a place to be alone or meet others on the trail. Alaska—where you can flag down a train and go to another hiking trail or fishing spot. In Alaska, a hiker can spend a day or a week in unspoiled wilderness and be but a few minutes away from the highway or town.
But don’t expect to see it all. If you explored a thousand square miles of the Greatland a day, you couldn’t see it all in your lifetime.

Cortex is for serious authors and will probably not be of interest to hobbyists. We recorded our Cortex training and information meeting. If you’re a serious author, and did not attend the meeting, and would like to review the training information, kindly let us know. Authors are required to have a Facebook author page to use Cortex.
Correction:
We take the quote by Marcella Smith, Small Press Business Manager, Barnes & Noble seriously: “The author is essential to the success of the book, giving energy behind the book to make it something that a customer will come in and ask for. That is what makes the difference in a book that sells, that develops legs, and has a life of its own. Otherwise the book goes on the shelf and stays there for three months. Then it gets returned.”

We hear authors complain about all the personal stuff on Facebook. Most of these complaints are because the author doesn’t understand the difference difference between a Facebook profile and a Facebook page. Simply put, a profile is for personal things for friends and family; a page is for business. If your book is just a hobby, then it’s fine to have only a Facebook profile and make your posts for friends and family; however, if you’re serious about your writing, and it’s a business with you, or you want it to be business, then you need a Facebook page as an author. It’s simple to tell if it’s a page or a profile. A profile shows how many friends and a page shows how many likes. Here’s a link <> to a straight forward description on how to set up your author Facebook page.
