Elk and Bear and Wolf, oh my

They all made a showing this morning on our trek across the Bow Valley Parkway.  The road is actually a section of old highway 1that reverted to wildlife viewing only when they built the TransCanada Highway through here.  Not only is commercial truck traffic prohibited, the road is actually closed to all vehicle traffic from 8PM to 8AM to give wildlife the full run of at least this little strip of the narrow valley the Bow River has so artfully cut through the mountains.

 

The wolf trotted down the middle of the road like he owned it. Grizzly Comp_3125 A big ole grizzly bear hung out on the railroad tracks just snarffling around.  Bull elk with velvet covered antlers munched away on all that is green, where ever they pleased.  I think, they think this is really their space.  We just get to pass through now and again.  Good for them.
