It may be too early to lay fresh tracks, but that’s not stopping these guys from starting their day.

Grizzly Bear
Main Image:
Grizzlies are quite plentiful in Jasper. Most of the backcountry wilderness in the park is subalpine forest, alpine tundra or rock and ice -- more suited to grizzlies than to black bears. Visitors are more likely to see black bears, however, because black bears frequent the low-lying valleys that our park roads run through.
Visitors hoping to spot a grizzly can drive the Icefields Parkway, or hike the Tonquin and Maligne Valleys, but extreme caution should be taken if a bear is encountered. Grizzly bears are unpredictable and are clearly capable of injuring people; please give these beautiful bears lots of space and warning if you are in their areas.
