The 50th anniversary of Travel Guide
welcomes visitors to Experience Alaska

For the last fifty years, the publisher Scott Graber has traveled up lonely stretches of endless highways, boarded small planes
bound for remote villages, crossed ferries on rough seas, and sat beside riverbanks where bears fish for salmon. Along the way,
he built something—an amazing life and a publication that celebrates the beauty and grandeur of the northern landscape:
Travel Guide.
The idea began simply. Living only 65 miles from the Canadian border in Northwest Montana, Scott recognized there was no
publication connecting travelers with businesses and attractions on both sides of the border. He set out to create one.
The first 32-page magazine has today become seven distinct publications connecting travelers with the stories, people,
and businesses of Alaska, Canada, and the Pacific Northwest. Travel Guide: Experience Alaska takes visitors into the heart of
the 49th state. From the gold rush history of Nome to the cultural energy of Anchorage, the museums of Fairbanks, and the
vast windswept wilderness of the Arctic, Alaska’s interior is a land of endless discovery. Whether you’re riding the rails through
breathtaking scenery, exploring world-class museums, or embarking on outdoor adventures, this remarkable region keeps
travelers returning year after year.
This is Alaska, by Land, Air, Sea.
