keram Posted May 18, 2007 Report Share Posted May 18, 2007 Well, I'm packed and ready . Leaving tomorrow morning for the trip to Banff & Jasper NP for eight days. I will miss two fishing weekends, but I think the experience will compensate for this I'm sure I will have "few" pictures to share. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

outdoorguy61 Posted May 19, 2007 Report Share Posted May 19, 2007 (edited) I just did Banff - Jasper for perhaps close to the fiftieth time. It is the most beautiful trip I have experienced in Canada. I am used to seeing wildlife and have become accustomed to some areas having far more than others. I saw: - 50+ mountain sheep - 55+ elk - 30+ whitetail and mule deer - 3 moose - 3 blackbear - 1 grizzley This was all between Canmore-Jasper and then Clearwater BC. I also observed one brookie near Twojack Lake in Banff and 2 rainbows at the outflow of Maligne Lk in Jasper. There was still ice on Bow Lk and an estimated 4.5+ ft of snow at this elevation. The Columbia Icefields were a bit too covered to really notice the glacier and its blueish tinge. It sure has changed since I was first there in 1986. Just some notes. Mountain sheep always seem easier to notice on sunny days near sources of salt like by roads. Elk, etc. are always easiest to see during low light times, in areas like fields be it near a town or along the route. outdoorguy61 Edited May 19, 2007 by outdoorguy61 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
