Views of the Canadian Rockies

Here are a few shots of the Rockies.  Please understand these are not hard earned shots taken after a 5-10 mile hike in, sorry.  I am 66, and most importantly, travelling alone, and trust me, there are many bears up here so I limited my hikes to pretty brief ones.

This will be my last post from this great trip.  It will total 3,300 miles, nearly all on 2 lane roads not freeways.  4 states, 3 provinces. Many, many wild animal sightings, and so far, fortunately, have not hit any of them.

This trip was a great example of the enjoyment of the journey and not just the destinations.  Driving does make that experience possible for sure.

Thanks for reading. Later this year, I will blog from South Africa and still later, the Canary Islands and Portugal.

Yes, that is a bear on the tracks.  I sure hope he moved on as  very fast train came through shortly after this.  Taken along the Bow Valley parkway.

This poor mother goat somehow got onto this bridge with her kids and now how do they get off?

A large lake still somewhat frozen in early June.  Tim:   This is the same lake we shot with your mother and aunt, but a month later into the season so it was not frozen.

Views like this are everywhere. Really amazing scenery.
