First Trip to Alberta-BC

[geraldsmith]

Planning a 30 day visit in June to Alberta and British Columbia. Main interest is in wildlife photography without having to hike for miles. Can you recommend any such places where you have seen birds or mammals in June? Thanks for you help.

How far north do you plan to travel? I highly recommend traveling from Banff to Jasper on Highway 93 through the Icefields Parkway. You'll see Elk, Bighorn Sheep, Mountain goats, Columbia Ground Squirrels, maybe a Moose, and a Bear or two. I have seen Golden & Bald Eagles as well.
Jasper is also (in my opinion) a much nicer town than the shopping-mall-with-mountains that is Banff. From Jasper, you can go west past Mount Robson, and then go back south towards Kamloops.

I spent a lot of time fly fishing up around Quesnel BC when I was a kid, every summer. At that time the roads out to lakes were gravel logging roads. They were well maintained for gravel. We saw every kind of wildlife you can imagine. the ministry of forests does a great job maintaining the parks but you should check to see which are RV suitable.
