Goin’ on a Bear Hunt

Do you know how to identify grizzly scat? We learned all about it at our park’s visitor centre…and then we started seeing it at the side of roads and trails! Two women came in to the visitor centre this morning to report a grizzly sighting (with photos!) and more than one campground had a “Bear in Area” sign posted. While we were excited to possibly see another bear on this trip, we all agreed that it would be best to be in the car when it happens!

Last night, Taylor proved her wilderness skills by winning the S’Mores Competition. She innovated a new chocolate to marshmallow ratio in addition to perfecting her chocolate pre-melt technique on the edge of the grill. Papa Gill didn’t stand a chance in this cook-off!

We took the scenic route to Calgary this morning and saw an abundance of Rocky Mountain Sheep!

The road crews have been busy this spring:

GEOQUIZ: Despite McLeod Meadows’ host’s invitation, we continued our search for grizzly bear by heading to a provincial park re-dedicated in the late 1980’s to honour a distant relative of Sarah’s. Which park did we stay at?
