Mountain Goat Keeps Tabs on Hiker
At the bottom of the Northeast face of Mount Temple in the Lake Louise area, there is a wonderful little lake bounded by a high, but accessible pass into Paradise Valley to the West.
It’s a steep ascent but the views into Paradise Valley are drop-dead gorgeous and well-worth the climb. One day, as I was toiling up the avalanche path, this mountain goat appeared above me on the cliff bands and kept a close watch for several minutes as I slogged upwards. I finally figured out that he/she was posing and expected me to get out my camera and take the shot.
Young Grizzly Bear Feeds on Dandelions
Spotted this little guy in the Highwood Pass area in Kananaskis Country south of Canmore, Alberta. The grizzly cub was intently chowing down on dandelions and paid no attention to me. Happily, I was some distance away and shot this with a telephoto lens. No sign of the mother but I didn’t hang around to find out if she was in the vicinity!
