It would not be off base to say I had gone grizzly crazy.
It was still early in the trip as I coasted over the park on the Lake Louise Gondola, but already, it felt as though I was building up to seeing a grizzly. I had seen marmots munching vegetation on Mount Rainier, bighorn sheep licking asphalt in the Kootenays and mountain goats lazing around and kicking up dust in Valhalla Provincial Park. It only seemed natural that a bear would be next.
When we arrived at the trailhead, I realized that I had made a colossal error: I had forgotten my bear spray in the car. The hike requires exiting an area enclosed by an electrified fence, which is there to keep the grizzlies out. A nearby sign reads: “You are in bear country.” An employee working the chairlift recommended renting spray from the interpretive center. The large building contains taxidermy versions of all of the park’s charismatic megafauna, along with bones, antlers, pelts and footprint replicas. I asked a ranger if she thought it was really necessary to rent bear spray, and she didn’t hesitate.
The next day, I went horseback riding with Banff Trail Riders through the Cave and Basin National Historic Site, where the discovery of thermal springs by railway workers in 1883 led to the creation of the park, Canada’s first. We stopped near some oak trees, where the tour guide showed us claw marks from where bears had climbed up. We also heard about how horses are trained not to spook when they encounter wildlife. But no actual bears appeared.
