Muskoka

29.21 x 2.54 x 28.58 cm-A tight, clean, and unmarked copy.-" Stretching from the vast wilderness of Algonquin Park in the east to the rugged windswept shores of the Georgian Bay Islands in the west, the District of Muskoka includes the treasured towns of Gravenhurst, Bracebridge and Huntsville, and the townships of Georgian Bay, Lake of Bays, and Muskoka Lakes. With its rugged beauty, pristine lakes, and quaint settlements, Muskoka is both a tourist destination and a cottager's playground. "Muskoka" translates from the Algonquin native language to "land of the red earth." Unforgettable sunsets, stunning autumn tree foliage, and the region's signature crop of cranberries all relate back to the "red earth" theme" and becomes the canvas for this stunning photography collection."-" Author Mike Grandmaison is an award-winning Canadian photographer specializing in Canadian nature and landscapes.
