Summer is finally here! I've just spent the long weekend in Alberta, and the weather has been sunny and warm (i.e. 30oC).
I volunteered to do an inventory count in Edmonton, which just happened to fall just before the super long weekend. It was a perfect opportunity to see the Canadian Rockies.
I travelled through Jasper & Banff National Parks and saw mountains, lakes and even a glacier. Of all the places I visited, the Moraine Lake wins the gold medal for scenery. It beats Lake Louise by a mile!
The views were exactly like the postcards, if not better. However the highlight of the trip was seeing Canadian wildlife by the side of the road...
Here's what I ticked off the list:
- Coyote
- Black bears...one even crossed the road! thank goodness we were inside the car as I'm told bears can sprint pretty damn fast!
- Bull elk & female elk
- Deer including a little bambi! and a random deer in downtown Banff!
- Mountain goat on a steep rocky mountain
- Big horn sheep
- Squirrels
Tomorrow, I head back to Calgary to catch my flight back to Vancouver....Sadly it is back to work.
