Help Protect Wildlife for Everyone’s Enjoyment


Here are some tips on driving & viewing wildlife You are in bear country


Bears are wild animals and demand your respect. Strong and agile, they will defend their young and their territory. All bears are potentially dangerous. Never feed or approach a bear, especially a cub, as the mother will not be far away. Stay in your camper if you spot a bear while driving. Be especially alert when hiking into the wind, as they cannot pickup your scent. Park wardens may post signs in areas with bear warnings


or trail closures.


Be careful of wildlife on highways Road kills take more than two hundred big game animals a year in Alberta and BC. Many accidents can be prevented. Watch for signs showing big horn sheep, moose and elk are in the area. The warnings remind you that wild animals frequently cross the road. Be especially careful at dawn and dusk when they usually come out to feed along the highways. There are now reduced speed zones (70 kph) on the Trans Canada Hwy in Banff, Jasper, Yoho, and Kootenay National Parks.


Elk warnings The national parks provide natural elk habitat. These large animals can be dangerous, especially during calving and mating seasons. In Spring, from mid-May to the end of June is calving season. Cow elk will chase people who approach their new born too closely. Mating season starts in late August. Male elk are very aggressive and known to charge vehicles when annoyed. Always keep 40-50 paces between you and an elk.
