Our Two Favorite Canadians

We have just returned from a wonderful trip to Canada.  We spent time in Alberta and British Columbia.  The target place was Jasper National Park, but we found Yoho National Park to be fabulous as well.  Actually, there are many places that should be visited because there is so much to see and experience.

One wish was to see some Grizzlies in the wild.  We spent may days actively searching in areas where there were said to be.  When we were not able to find them, we became quite depressed and were about to resign ourselves to having failed.  However, the owner of the Blue Diamond B&B in Brule suggested we take the road from Hinton to Cadomin stating that one could see many different animals on that road.  Once again, we arrived at Cadomin without seeing any grizzlies.  We did see many other animals.  On our way back to Brule, we noticed another vehicle pulled over stopped.  About that time, I spied exactly what were the objects of their attention.  Success! Sweet success!

The one on the left was very wary and wanted to move on.  However the one on the right was of the stand your ground variety.  We watched for a good long time never leaving the car.  The bears may not have been grinning, but we were.
