I was so surprised by the amount of wildlife we saw while travelling across Alberta and British Columbia! Keeping my eyes peeled for all the animals turned out to be one of my favourite parts of our trip. From the big-eared, wide-eyed deer grazing at the side of the road, to the prairie dogs (as many as 20 of them) popping out of the holes near a rest-stop (a la “whack-a-mole”), it was fun to check the guide-books and tick off which animals we saw. The elusive moose and black bear were never seen, unfortunately! Next time hopefully :)

I finally saw my first black bear last summer after numerous trips through those mountains! My husband used to catch them all of the time when he would have to work in the field in the far North but of course, I was never with him then!
So cool! Looking for animals on road trips is one of my favorites too :) You got some great shots, my favorite is the first one.

Yep, the first one is the best. But all of them are pretty amazing!
