Kootney National Park is not on the drive from Calgary to the Shuswap. It lives on the very periphery of my BC awareness. I just know, get in the car in Calgary, drive with anticipation for 5-6 hours stopping only for gas and a snack in Golden.
Now that we live in Lethbridge though, Kootney National Park is more than an afterthought. We decided to take a short family trip to Radium in February to visit the hotsprings and see that part of the province.
One side adventure was a drive through Kootney National Park to Marble Canyon for a hike.
In the parking lot we drove up beside a pickup truck and came across this character grabbing and tossing garbage out.
Yes, we know you aren't supposed to feed the wildlife, but by the time we got out of our van, we considered him a friend and we had a muffin handy.
That bird looks like a ballerina in the last photo. The one thing dancing more than this bird for a muffin are the eyes of your children in these photos. I think you have some serious animal lovers in your family. Is that the bird's tongue in the second to last photo? Mary, fun text to read and priceless photos!!!
