The Rocky Mountains stretch from Texas into Canada. The above images were taken in Colorado, Wyoming, and Alberta, Canada.
The American Bison, more commonly known as the Buffalo, like to wallow and take mud baths. While many speculate on why buffalo enjoy this behavior, others just enjoy watching and photographing the action.
Jasper National Park offers not only incredible mountainous scenery but also a wealth of wildlife. Grizzly bears, black bears, moose, elk, wolves, coyotes, bighorn, and goats are all possible photographic subjects in a day in Jasper. You will need a little "good animal karma" as well as some knowledge about the habits and habitats of the creatures you want to see.
The Goats and Bighorn Sheep were photographed on Mount Evans in Colorado where you can drive above the treeline to more than 14,000 feet. Yellow-bellied marmots are also high altitude dwellers and prolific out west.
