'Bear' jam

What’s the definition of a Canadian traffic jam?
Cars rapidly pulling up and parking at weird angles on the Icefield Parkway. Let me explain…

Seeing wildlife in the Canadian Rockies is a delight. It doesn't matter whether you're​ equipped with the expensive camera equipment or you're just using your mobile phone being so close is wonderful.

With brake lights blaring up ahead, we knew something was happening, so we stopped. A black bear presented itself so Sheree had the privilege of getting within 5 metres, taking many shots.

Only a few kilometres further on another jam happened. This time it was a grizzly. We were amazed to see such a creature so close. It was eating grass and so unaware of its observers.

We also had the privilege of seeing many elk [deer], gorgeous hummingbirds, a wolf [sadly no photo], mountain goats, marmot, several beavers, many squirrels and others.

We missed seeing bison, now living on a farm near Waterton. That’s for another trip. What a wonderful array of creatures in the wild!もっと詳しく
