Jasper, Alta. [Alberta] Aug. [August] 12/43 [1943]
Patrolled to Miette Hot Springs by car
+ then hiked about 3 miles E. [East] + then to
the top of the 6788 ft [foot] ridge. Here I found
some fair summer range for
sheep. The valley bottom + hillsides
are burned but the ridges are
naturally bare. Scattered cliffs
provide sanctuary from predators.
Apparently moose winter in
the region in some numbers.
Found a winter deer kill. A few -
very few - summer elk signs.
Higher up on both sides of Fiddle
Creek. there were pockets of high
grassland capable of supporting a
large summer population of sheep

Sheep:- 16 [female symbol] 2 yearling [female symbol] 3 yearling [male symbol], 1, 3 yr [year] [male symbol], 1 2 yr [year] [male symbol],
