Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness (Voyageur Wilderness Books)

Take a journey to the cold, clear lakes and boreal forests of the largest lake wilderness in the United States, the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness. Led by naturalists who love the land and understand the complex web of ecology, this journey is one of discovery. Through the writer you will observe grey jays, whistling beetles, and orchids. You'll travel from the Arrowhead, Gunflint, Sawbill, and Echo trails. Each trip is an album of memories, philosophy, and natural history. It's a personal trip through the land that emphasizes feelings rather than destination; it's emotion built on observation. You can feel the paddle in your hand, the wind at your back, and picture the sun on the rippling waves. You can listen to the loon and the wolf, and study the bear and the moose. This book prepares you for your trip, helps enrich your visit, lets you share your experience with others, or journey to the Boundary Waters from your favorite chair.
