Elk residents or tourists of Jasper, Alberta ?

in #travel8 years ago (edited)

I had the good fortune to be in the Jasper area this week for work. While I was there it was actually quite smoky so I didn't get any new mountain photos but I was fortunate enough to get some new elk photos. They were hanging out just across the river from I was so I snapped a few photos while they were there.

I did not see any elk in town this visit but in the past I have seen the elk in the town of Jasper wandering through the streets like residents and tourists.

Taken on the Athabasca River just outside of the town of Jasper in Jasper National Park in Alberta.

Those are some beautiful shots! I will hopefully be visiting Canada soon! Good post!

Thanks! You should definitely come and visit Alberta! I live in a beautiful province and our National Parks and Mountains are worth the visit!

Can't wait! Maybe next summer!

Is that Buffalo River?

No, it's the Athabasca River

Looks like so much fun

Good catch. So are they residents or tourists?

Cool!! Lucky to have witnessed this wildlife!
