Bow Valley Scenic Parkway, Drive into Montana
Along the Bow Valley Parkway, the scenic drive leading from Lake Louise to Banff, Matthew's keen eyes spotted a black bear, ambling along in the woods close to the road. Our sudden stop allowed about six other cars pause and take note of the bear as well. All thanks to Matthew.
The topography through southern Alberta was markedly different from that of the Canadian Rockies. There were fields and farms and overall flatter land.
And then there was Montana! A great wasteland stretching as far as the eye could see! Or so I was expecting. Much to my delight, Montana was flat-out gorgeous! She has these soaring, layered buttes that jut out from the flat terrain, interrupting the fields with an infusion of texture, color, levels, and complexity. It was quite remarkable.
