I got up about 8:00 today and drove back over the Going to the Sun Road.
Soon after I crossed the top of the pass I noticed a bunch of people
looking down in to the valley beside the road. Waaaayyyyy down there was a
large animal feeding. But it was to far to determine whether it was a bear
or an elk. I then noticed a small group of photographers about 100yds down
the road all with very big lenses looking up the hill. I went down and
there were some female big horn sheep very close to the road, I told them
about the animal down in the valley but it had moved under cover. I did
manage to get some really great shots of the sheep they cane within 10 feet
of us. As I exited the park I made a U turn to buy my annual pass. the
Ranger at the booth was taken back when she saw me make a U turn, I
explained that I had been trying to get this pass for a few day and she
laughed about my tale. It was a short hop up to the border where I first
stopped at the US side and registered my rifles. then on to Canada
customs. they handled the importation very professionally and with a very
friendly demeanor. I was a bit uneasy about taking them through Canada but
Canadian Customs was great. I proceeded up to Calgary Alberta and ran smack in to
rush hour, they really need a loop around the city. I headed west on the
Trans Canada Hwy to Banff. |
