Creator Transcript
  • Banff June 3/43 [1943] week. Feeding on willow, birch + balsam. The good elk area apparently consists of a narrow belt, mostly on the N [North] side of the Bow + extending from about 30 miles W. [West] of Banff on the Lake Louise road to + beyond Gateway. There are local pockets of habitable range - as opposite Massive - on the s [south] side of the river. In all this region where willow grows on arid land it is dead or nearly so + there are very few young aspens. However on the swampy areas where willow + birch are intermingled the willow is holding its own. Carrot Creek. June 4+5. [1943] Yesterday we worked up the creek about 6 miles and made camp. on a grassy flat beside the creek. Altitude 5600'. The party consists of Warden [Ernest] Stenton, self + 4 horses. Weather fine when we left Banff clouding + beginning to rain at about 9 PM. During the night snowed about 6 inches. Snowed heavily until noon on the 5th + lightly off + on during the afternoon. Clearing at sundown
