Location Taken: Banff National Park, Alberta
Time Taken: June 2010
There’s a rather lovely campground near Lake Louise in Banff National Park. It’s got lovely, well-maintained campsites and a full set of facilities from heated bathrooms to an actual kitchen. Not to mention a lovely view of the surrounding forest and mountains. Or forest and fog, I guess.
It’s even got it’s own electric fence!
Yes, seriously, live electric fence. Not your standard campground feature. But then, most campgrounds aren’t both popular and right in the heart of bear country. There are just hordes of wild bears in this area. Heck, I saw not one but two of them, and I was only there for half a day!
I suspect you’ll agree with me that a fence blocking a bit of the view and making you feel a bit cut off from nature is worth not having said nature eat your face in the middle of the night. Makes things quite peaceful, really.
