Just finishing the Wall Lake hike in Waterton, I commented to George: “We haven’t seen our bear yet today.”
(One time in Waterton National Park my hiking group had seen at least one bear a day. They are easy to spot here. One day we saw 5 bears.)
Right then a bear came strolling directly towards our car. George let the vehicle roll down a hill, quietly pacing the animal. You’ll see it was completely unconcerned by our presence.

To Identify the mule deer, also in the video, I used the Road Watch in the Pass website.
They are a non-profit organization monitoring animals on the roadways in the Crowsnest region of Alberta. Trying to improve safety for large animals including hikers.
