Caribou returns to Banff
Jul 28, 2008
Where else would I celebrate Parks Day but in Canada’s oldest national park?
I visited the celebrations at the high school grounds, organized by the awesome parks staff, where I had a caribou-sound making contest with some of the locals.
Afterwards I walked around the famous Banff Avenue, chatting with visitors and having my picture taken with so many people!
At one point I thought I saw a couple of wolves, but turns out it was just one of Banff’s new hybrid buses.
The following day I was back in Calgary, hanging out at the Sun and Salsa Festival. There were so many people interested in meeting a caribou from the boreal forest, it almost felt like being back in the herd! A big thanks to the Running Room for all the water refills.
