p.1 #1 · p.1 #1 · Wild Horses - Ya Ha Tinda Ranch Area


There is an area on the back side of Banff National Park that used to be part of the Park. It is a provincial land use area that is dedicated to equestrian and hiking. Parks Canada winters their horses in this area. Many generations ago, horses escaped from captivity and ever since there has been wild horses in the area. The area is also where a very large number of elk winter because it has less snow pack and grass to eat. And as a result there are also wolves.

Any way, I went there to check out the opportunities for pictures. There were lots of elk but my best shots were of the wild horses.

Comments and feedback is appreciated.

Scott

A very nice set Scott. 2 is my pick of the horse shots. We rode in a bus from Calgary to Lake Louise to ski back in my film days. I've always wanted to go back - it's such a beautiful area. Your landscape shots bring back good memories ~ Ron

Great series Scott. Been to Banff several times but never heard about the wild horses. Just another of many reasons I need to return as it has been too long. One of the Jewels in the Canadian Rockies.

KirkB: Horses are not my usual wild animals so I am glad you like 1. I think it is my favorite as well. Thanks for the feedback. Much appreciated. Scott


msoomro: Glad you like the horses and Ya Ha TInda. Thanks for the feedback. Much appreciated. Scott



surfnron: The area is connected to lake Louise by a valley through Pipestone river. The Lake Louise Elk head for this valley in the winter. Glad you like 2. Thanks for the feedback. Much appreciated. Scott



Taoguy: This area is not in Banff Park - it is on the eastern slopes adjacent and facing Banff Park. But it has a unique look to it. Thanks for the feedback. Much appreciated. Scott


KCollett: Glad you like 2 and the views. I think I will go back for earlier light. Thanks for the feedback. Much appreciated. Scott
