20.06.08: wolves, bears, mountains (Golden)

Awaken in the morning the weather seemed not very good and we first thought it would raining. Because of this we took one’s time and went out not until 11 o’ clock. Today the first attraction was the Northern Lights Wildlife Wolf Centre. Located in the Canadian Rockies, they promote wolf and bear conservation through public education. First they told us something about Karelian Bear Dogs, which attack bears to show them their borderlines without hurting them. Normally in British Columbia were the bears shot, instead of show them their territory. We were both concerned about all the information we get there… For those of you which are interested in more facts please check: http://www.northernlightswildlife.com

From wolves to bears…
The Kicking Horse Grizzly Bear Refuge operates a wilderness centre for research, education, and conservation at Kicking Horse Mountain Resort. The 22-acre sanctuary is the largest protected enclosed grizzly bear refuge in the world, providing a home and a second chance at life for one orphaned grizzly bear named Boo. We had luck and could have had a glance on him and we had the possibility to take pictures.
Jana took the gondola and made a short visit to the top of the Golden Eagle Mountain. The view was amazing!
