New Book: 4th Edition Of The Explorer's Guide to Algonquin Park
We didn’t even notice that there is now a revised and expanded edition of the classic The Explorer's Guide to Algonquin Park by Michael Runtz! This new 240 page edition came out in March and the new edition features:
Access routes, hiking trails and canoe routes indicated on easy-to-read full-color maps
Where, when and how to see moose, wolves, birds and other wildlife, including 3 new chapters (Butterflies, Odonates, and Wildflowers)
Points of historical interest, such as ranger cabins and aboriginal rock paintings
A feature on climate change and how it has and will affect Algonquin wildlife
New photography from the last 10 years of Michael's career
Updated maps and lists of Park facilities and services
“Algonquin is a near-North paradise of 3,500 square miles of forests, lakes and rivers atop the rugged Canadian Shield. This idyllic haven from urban life is easily accessible from dozens of major U.S. and Canadian population centers.
Michael Runtz has spent decades observing and photographing the wildlife of Algonquin Park; the 4th edition of The Explorer’s Guide to Algonquin Park is the updated and expanded culmination of that work.
Informative but also highly evocative, Michael’s prose demonstrates a love of the natural world and a genuine desire to share it with others. Elevated by Michael’s award-winning wildlife photography, this work is one part guidebook, one part celebration of one of Canada’s most treasured Parks.”
