Kicking Horse Resort just outside of Golden, borders Alberta. With little accomodation options around Lake Louise, Kicking Horse seemed a reasonable launching platform to explore the north of Banff National Park.
With little expectation, I arrived to my accom at the Glacier Mountain Inn, and was recommended to meet their local celebrity, BOO. A 700lb Grizzly Bear
Understanding his habitat is 26acres, the chance of a sighting was hit or miss, but luck had him wander the fence line within minutes of my arrival. A truly unique experience
It was quiet in summer, but worth a couple of days to see Boo and the lay of the land. I will have to return to ski this mountain.
