Note from Robin : You might see bears, elk, moose and other wildlife.  If you are driving, Parks Canada offers the following tips: – remember to pull off the road completely or into provided roadside pull-offs; – never feed or approach wildlife, this is unlawful in national parks – don’t get out of your vehicle (use a telephoto lens to get the ‘perfect picture’) – quickly continue along your way so that others may enjoy the opportunity
