RE: Canadian Rockies: Kananaskis Elbow Pass(lake and glacier), Day 4

in #travel6 years ago

Very nice photos, especially those wide, sweeping landscapes. The Rockies look to be quite pretty, though I suppose they're a little hard to get around in? I've only ever flown over them.

I don't think I'd mess with the mountain wildlife. Those horns look like they could do a lot of damage!

Thank you!! These guys are pretty friendly, obviously still wildlife and unpredictable but they don't scare that easily and sometimes just walk up to people, they are very similar to a goat. The males are the ones I would worry about! They have the huge horns and an extra layer of bone/ cartilage built in to their skulls to ram each other, they are actually pretty friendly too. I can't say I have ever heard of an incident yet(not that I have looked)

The Rockies are a little hard to get around in by foot even by vehicle but it's part of the fun. This section is only accessible by vehicle from June until October. I bet it was nice to fly over them, never had the pleasure yet...someday!
