- Banff. Alta [Alberta] April 28/43 [1943]
Further east on the flats along the
river + benches adjacent there are
signs of former heavy browsing +
little sign of shrub + tree recovery.
There is grass in excess of present
requirements. All the aspens are badly
chawed but there is little recent sign.
Willows + birches on the bottom are
heavily browsed by elk.
There is a large area between the
highway + the mts [mountains] to the north that is
ideal elk range. It seems to be populated
close to capacity or to have been so,
so recently that there is no sign of
recovery as yet.
The Carrot Creek valley is a most interesting
one, up it are some fair western birch
trees, and some Pinus albicaulis [underlined] that are
neither of them common in the park.
Up as far as the first canyon elk
+ moose sign was numerous, above
that nothing but sheep sign was
evident. The valley is very narrow
at first but [illegible word crossed out] after 4 miles opens
out into a broad basin with grassy
slopes. Along the trail we found
2 ram sheep killed by lions last
February. They were about 3/4 mile apart
+ when found only a small part of each
had been eaten. Now coyotes have been
working on the lower one.
