  • ROCKY MOUNTAINS from CANADA to WYOMING the Rocky Mountain Range of North America Forms the Cordilleran Backbone of the Great
    ROCKY MOUNTAINS FROM CANADA TO WYOMING Swiftcurrent Lake and East Glacier sunrise The Rocky Mountain range of North America forms the cordilleran backbone of the great uplands that dominates the west, and extends from northern Alberta and British Columbia southward to New Mexico, a distance of some 3,000 miles (4,800 km). Differing in subranges, the rockies still share the physical attributes of high elevations with many peaks exceeding 13,000 feet [4,000 metres] elevation and great local relief (typically 5,000 to 7,000 feet in vertical difference between the base and summit of ranges. In contrast to the coastal ranges, the sedimentary formations form spectacular scenery from past glaciation and volcanic activity. Central to the Canadian Rockies, the Columbia Icefield is situated on the continental divide at elevations between 10,000 to 13,000 feet (3,000 to 4,000 metres). It includes the large Athabasca Glacier, which is nearly five miles long and about a mile wide. The Canadian Rockies originate a several large rivers including the Columbia, Fraser, the Missouri and Mackenzie, and equally divided flowing east (Atlantic and Arctic oceans) and west (Pacific Ocean). There is a vast forested and tundra ecosystem within the Canadian and Montana/Wyoming Rocky Mountain Range. There are ten forested zones , and in more southern, warmer, or drier areas are defined by the presence of pinyon pine/juniper, ponderosa pine, or oak mixed with pine. In more northern, colder, or wetter areas, zones are defined by Douglas firs, western hemlock, lodgepole pines/quaking aspens, or fir mixed with spruce.

  • W^Tersfiis Glacier Fre< a Spread You Don't Want for Breakfast
    The Fre< W^tersfiiS Glacier HHkt lilllllll The weekly summer newspaper and activity guide serving the International Peace Park Region August 14,1996 Volume 5, Issue No. 14 A spread you don't want for breakfast WATERTON - You can't eat it, but you can sure get stuck in it, a bear jam, that is. And Waterton Lakes National Park has been seeing a few jams over the last week. What happens, according to warden Mary Coleman, is that a bear, sometimes on its own, sometimes with her cubs, makes its way to a roadside in the park and hangs out there. If it's during daylight hours, tourists driving by stop to take a look or take a picture. Before long, there are several vehicles lined up trying to get a better look, and soon traffic comes to a halt. Coleman indicates that the Red Rock Road saw the most jams this past week, but while being interviewed she was viewing another black bear and her two cubs on the main roadside leading to the Prince of Wales hill. That family was observed often in the area last week, also. "There's been 15 different bears on the road to Red Rock, and four single bears in the Crandell Lake campground," she says. It may be that the ripening saskatoon berries are bringing them out she speculates (makings for another kind of jam). None are^eausing any trouble, she adds. So wardens don't consider moving them out of the area. If alerted in time, usually by campground staff or other park employees, they'll head out to the scene, especially if cubs are involved They make sure visitors don't get too close and that they don't get between a mum and her cubs.

  • February Newsletter
    Winter continues to cover Kananaskis in a blanket of snow. Have you been out enjoying it? If You Admire the View, You Are a Friend Of Kananaskis For the rest of 2013, the Friends Newsletter will feature wildlife camera photographs from Kananaskis Country. The photos were provided by John Paczkowski, the Park Ecologist for Kananaskis Country. Many of the photographs are part of research programs in the various areas of Kananaskis. The one above is a cougar attempting to steal a beaver carcass hung in a tree. These carcasses are used to attract and photograph wolverines, and the barbed wire you see allows collection of hair samples for DNA identity testing. If you have not met John, you should. He has spoken at several Friends events, and has one of the best jobs in the world, tracking wildlife movements in and around K-Country. Beside which, John's a great guy and we thank him for his generosity in supplying these photos. Trail Care 2013 Update By Rosemary Power, Program CoOrdinator With the spring just around the corner, we are looking ahead to our 2013 Trail Care season with TransAlta as the title sponsor for this years program. Thanks to you, our hard working volunteers, we will be providing trail maintenance and construction in a wide variety of locations in and around Kananaskis Country. As in previous years, our main trail work days will be the second Saturday of each month but additional days, both weekday and weekend, will likely be created. Work usually ranges from pruning back bushes growing alongside the trail, through to digging drainage channels, sawing logs (by hand) and splitting rock or moving boulders.
