A Daytripper's Guide to Manitoba: Exploring Canada's Undiscovered Province Volume 3 - Paperback

by Bartley Kives (Author)

Sandwiched between North Dakota and Nunavut, Manitoba has never been the busiest chunk of tourism real estate in North America. To independent travellers, this is a good thing: Canada's undiscovered province offers uncrowded beaches, innumerable lakes, and unlikely cultural attractions, especially in the gritty/cool capital, Winnipeg. A Daytripper's Guide to Manitoba is the only comprehensive travel handbook to the province, and an indispensable tool for visitors from abroad, Canadians passing through, and Manitobans who want to get to know their own backyard. The new edition of the best-selling Canadian guidebook has expanded coverage of Winnipeg's cultural attractions, more Churchill ecotourism options, and a brand-new chapter on the Lake Of The Woods region of northwestern Ontario. Get the straight goods on cities, towns, and natural attractions in every corner of the province, compiled by one of Manitoba's most tenacious independent travellers, Bartley Kives. Remember, the only thing flat about Manitoba is the Trans-Canada Highway.
