We spent almost a week in the Rockies, among other things hiking, my mother climbing some decent trails with sticks coming out of her hands as a puppet.
Wild-life was a major issue. We saw: squirrels, chipmonks, turtles, beaver dams (though no beavers), moose, elks, bald eagle, osprey and ... BLACK BEAR.
The latter crossed our road on the way back to Vancouver. Right in time for us to brake, look thoroughly and yel loudly: "BEAR, BEAR, BEAR, BEAR". Unfortunately not in time to take a picture that actually shows a bear. But it doesn't matter, we saw it and we high fived!
The elks were much easier to take pictures of than the bear...
And then we drove down Icefield's Parkway. Rightfully known as the world's most picturesque road (as others, but still rightfully). It can't be described. It can't be shown in photos, none the less I'll take a go with the latter:
Lake Louise right before the start of the Parkway (also a pretty spot).
Crowfoot Glacier
Bow Lake
Peyto Lake
Muhaha Canyon (or something like it)
PS: We actually saw a bear today aswell. We are in Vancouver Island and we yelled the same way: " BEAR, BEAR, BEAR". And we almost missed out on the photos with this one, but I would be damned if there weren't a shadow on this giganticly zoomed picture that actually looks like a bear...
