It is quite the sight to see a bull elk trying to gather up his harem. Glad you got some sunny days to enjoy the beautiful scenery.

Isn't that just the coolest experience:) We enjoyed the flour green/blue water that was everywhere. I do believe we may have to return again to visit a couple of other parks in that area. And I wouldn't mind returning to Jasper. Hope you enjoyed Lake Louise and the crowds weren't too bad. Hiking above the lake leaves the crowd behind.

It was when we were there so we took the shuttle up, got a few photos and left! We enjoyed both Banff and Jasper.

What a beautiful place and so much hiking and biking. What terrific shots of the Elk. How nice of them to just come on by.

Woke up and heard something moving outside our pop-up camper. Since we had seen a bear the day before, we were sure it was a bear. Opened the door to see a large herd of elk wandering through all of the campers just like in your pictures! Has been fun to relive old memories with your trip and its photos!Mindynoreply@blogger.com
