Natural history, travel, geology, touring

Volcanoes and glaciations long past are just part of this insiders’ guide to the well-travelled and not-so-well-travelled routes that Albertans, visitors, and nature explorers will love. Allow geologist Dale Leckie to guide you through the intriguing story of Alberta’s landscape evolution: from Waterton Lakes National Park to Dinosaur Provincial Park, into the Prairies, and across Alberta’s North. The scenic geological wonders can be seen from roadside pullouts and explored by hikes through the landscape for close-up encounters. With eye-catching illustrations and photographs, Leckie blends storytelling with science, augmented by local art and historical vignettes.

This is a book to take advantage of going out and exploring locally during times of COVID. There is lots to see and do locally.
