The most incredible thing happened to us … four wolves crossed the highway in front of us just north of Bow Lake (about 25 minutes south of our campground.) It doesn’t matter how much it rained … we saw four – FOUR – woves at one time.
At first I thought it was a stray dog as this isn’t too far from a rustic inn/tourist destination. Then another, and another, … and then another.
They even stayed on the edge of the road for about three minutes, just casually hanging around and tussling a little bit with each other. Click here if you would like to seea few more photos. These are really the best ones. Doug had the good sense to say that we should report this at the Lake Louise (National Park) Visitor’s Information Centre. They called “dispatch” and the person asked to speak with Doug. She asked, “Do you have any idea how rare this is to see four wolves?” … Doug knew!! They took Doug’s contact information as a biologist may call him to get copy of the photos.
How unbelievable is all of this !?!
Hello Kristin
We are glad that you & Doug are having such
a fantastic holiday in spite of the rain!
Your pictures have brought back many wonderful memories for us in that we have
spent many years vacationing in many of the
same spots albeit in a little different
manner than you. We did some tenting/hiking
but mostly “roughed” it in a camper or R.V.
pulling our motorcycle so we could get to some out of the way places. What about white water rafting? Have you & Doug tried it? Great fun.
We love Alberta/B.C. as much as it is very
apparent you both do. Then, very soon, will
come the next wonderful experience…Swift
Current welcomes their new Pastor!
Dale & Joe
Glad you had time to post. What great adventures and pictures. Makes me yearn for the mountains too:)
More GREAT photos and wonderful adventure tales … lots of memories here!
Wild weather here last night – tornado touched down in Durham – destroying buildings in the industrial park at the south end of town, killing an 11-yr-old boy at the Durham Conservation Area. A farmer we know had the roof taken off his house, barn destroyed, truck totalled by a fallen tree. All of Ontario, in fact, was hit hard … scary for many. We had lots of rain, and wind, but thankfully, no damage.
