This bear was alongside the road feeding. People have been feeding the bears recently causing problems for the bears as well as the people. We saw an article in the paper with a bears front feet up on the guardrail waiting for food.
Some of the many big horn sheep we saw along the way.
This tells of the retreat of the Athabasca Glacier and the following photo shows the glacier from where we were standing reading the sign.
The bus has a fairly steep descent so you can take photos through the roof of the glaciers.
Bil and I on the glacier--yeah those are Bil's winter shorts.
A view across one of the lakes headed for the Columbia ice fields.
A group of people on the glacier. We all had to stay in a set area due to the crevices in the glacier and the chance of slipping into oblivion if we went in the wrong places. Plus they want to protect the rest of the glacier.
One of the glacier's in the ice fields.
This is the bus that is used to take people onto the glacier.
This was the original bus-no suspension & windows did not open- it gets really hot in it inside so they named it "shake and bake".
One of the nicer falls we saw on the way to the glacier.
Lots of wildlife. This mother mountain goat was very protective of her baby.
These trees are 300 years old. Their growth is stunted due to the cold weather here most of the year. The Glacier area is open for only 41/2 to 5 months a year.
A good view of glacial water and the mountains that create them.
One of the beautiful sites driving through BC to Alberta
Apparently, there is more than wildlife to watch out for at these parks.
There are flowers and neat sites wherever you look.
The two shots below are both Mt Robson.
