Animal Encounters from Banff to Jasper National Parks

When you visit the National Parks a main goal of yours may be to see some wildlife. I know for me I love seeing wild animals while I visit the National Parks. During my trip to Banff and Jasper National Parks I saw an array of animals from black bears to elk to a few deer. I did not see any grizzlies and I have yet to see one in real life despite living in Northern Idaho my entire life. Hopefully I will see a grizzly one day (from the safety of my car of course).

Below is a collection of wild animal photos from my trip to Banff and Jasper National Parks.

What is your favorite wild animal? I’m fond of the black bear… maybe because they look like this guy!
