Creator Transcript
  • Banff, Alta. [Alberta], April 26/43.[1943] Today drove 9 miles up the Spray + then hiked the additional 6 miles up to 15 mile cabin. Intermittent snow, clearing in afternoon, light snow in open, up to 12 in. [inches] in the timber - good tracking. Examined goat lick at 7 mile where goats come down off Rundle + at 8 " " " " " Sulphur. Only one animal had been down to the latter + that about 3 days ago. From tracks estimate 4 coyotes in 6 miles (9 to 15 mile). Track of a grizzly all the way. Had passed within 100 yds [yards] of a dead elk without finding it. The lower part of the valley up about to mile 12 is narrow + steep with spruce or spruce + pine to river level. But the last 3 miles to the cabin are along an open valley, an old burn. The west side is growing up to spruce rapidly + there are scattered spruce + pine in the floor along with much willow some dwarf birch + some potentilla. The east side is fairly bare + grassy to timber line with much deadfall. This being the west slope had cleared off sooner + harboured most of the game seen. 80 elk + 6 sheep. Tracks of 1 grizzly + 4 coyotes + one either fox or fisher
