Everywhere you go in Lake Louise and Banff, there’s lots of talk and signage about bears roaming in the woods. This is, after all, Bear Country. All the garbage cans are industrial strength metal with handles that only humans could open, so that they’re “bear-proof”. Where are all these bears hiding? I don’t see any, although I would never want to encounter a bear, since you can’t outrun or out-climb one.
Yesterday, while on the gondola up Lake Louise Mountain Resort, I saw them, just rumbling around the field, playing with each other. In this high altitude (5,700 sq ft), small patches of ice just appear out of nowhere, in the middle of all the greenery. Quite odd.
