Park, a U.N. designated World Heritage Site,

Seasonal
Overviews:
Spring
brings out the native wildflowers and announces the arrival
of the migrant songbirds. Newborn of Bighorn Sheep and Wapiti
(elk) dot the landscape. Local birds of prey, like Bald
Eagles and Osprey, are hunting and rebuilding last year’s
nests.
Time for photo close ups of the Calypso Orchid and wild
violet as some of the early season wild flowers can be found
while out with your local guide.
Summer
brings out the black bears looking for that rich source
of buffalo berries to gorge on before winter hibernation
sets in. Now is also the time to travel to the higher mountain
valleys like the well known Maligne Lake area or Mount Edith
Cavell’s cooler alpine meadows.
Autumn
is an incredible time for walking through the falling leaves
of the poplar forest as the colors start to change. Beaver
are actively cutting down the deciduous plants as food to
be stored before winter freezes up their ponds.
Winter
trips
not only have the wintering herds and other wildlife moving
into the valley bottom but also include options like snowshoeing
or x-country skiing in the dry powder snow of the Canadian
Rockies.
