We made it to Banff National Park around 4:00pm and we reached the Bow Valley Parkway about 5:00pm. We noticed “Wildlife Warning Signs” that said to go slow due to wildlife. We were all skeptical about how much wildlife we would see – with a designated sign. But we were dazzled by all the wildlife that we saw. We saw white-tailed deer and Big Horn sheep, but our favorite sighting was a wolf with five puppies. We never got a photo of the mom with all five pups as they were running around wildly. But we did get some great photos as you can see in the attached photos.

We later learned that there are only about 35 wolves in Banff National Park, so we felt very lucky to have seen these.
