Mid-Point of my Banff Trip


It seems that I am almost halfway through my time at Banff. I wonder if, at the end of March when I am to go, there will still be snow on the ground? I hope not, I would like to see new life beginning before I go.

I would like to see more wildlife. So far, I have only seen mule deer, a mountain goat magpies and ravens. I have heard of elk sightings, but I haven’t seen any. I would really like to see a marmot and a mountain bluebird. I would like to see all the hibernating animals come awake, although I would like to see them from a safe distance.

Sometimes at night I can hear the coyotes, and people tell me about seeing wolves. I wish to see all these creatures before I leave.
