Weak one loses heart in the drifts The herd draws back to protect Pack the trail. Nudge him on. Shred of warmth as sun breaks through. Young bear in her cave A den made bright by a beam of sun One who sleeps cannot know the smells in the wind Cannot embrace the scent of the thaw. Rolls into the world. Succumbs to the glare. Alive and alert, needing to eat. All else fades away as she drinks in the scent of the meadow. Green shoots await. Bluebirds end their long journey Spirited home. Crack in the pine tree Perfect place to nest. The herd waves along the valley floor. Thin, needy as are all that arrive. Foraging bear scuffs and chews amidst the dandelions.

Canadian Society of Soil Science Annual Meeting, Banff, Alberta May 2014. 18 p. 2 3 Banff Park In the fall of 1883, three Canadian Pacific Railway construction workers stumbled across a cave containing hot springs on the eastern slopes of Alberta's Rocky Mountains. From that humble beginning was born Banff National Park, Canada's first national park and the world's third. Spanning 6,641 square kilometres (2,564 square miles) of valleys, mountains, glaciers, forests, meadows and rivers, Banff National Park is one of the world's premier destination spots. In Banff’s early years, The Canadian Pacific Railway built the Banff Springs Hotel and Chateau Lake Louise, and attracted tourists through extensive advertising. In the early 20th century, roads were built in Banff, at times by war internees, and through Great Depression-era public works projects. Since the 1960s, park accommodations have been open all year, with annual tourism visits to Banff increasing to over 5 million in the 1990s. Millions more pass through the park on the Trans-Canada Highway. As Banff is one of the world's most visited national parks, the health of its ecosystem has been threatened.
