Animals @ Canadian Rockies (off off Tokyo): August 18-23, 2013

I saw many animals during my stay in the Canadian Rockies.

I visited Mt. Whitehorn near Lake Louise. It is a famous sky resort in the winter and a nice sightseeing spot in the summer season. I moved up to the top area by a gondola.

Grizzlies frequent here. I unfortunately miss it (miss the opportunity to see it from mu gondola, not to meet in the trail while walking ^^;). Instead, I met other animals and birds.

A elk deer appeared from a wood and ate grasses in the field.

There were many alpine plants. Flowers were beautiful.

There were stuffed animals and other exhibitions in the interpretation center there. They include coyote, grizzly, cougar, wolf, deer and many birds.

I met many pika or whistling hares in the mountains when I was walking there. Their high-pitched sounds were impressive.

Squirrels were everywhere. I saw in the mountains while hiking and in the towns.

People were with their animals in Banff. Small and big dogs were found everywhere. A family played a performance with their pig.
