Wildlife in the Canadian Rockies I

In the latter half of our time in Canada, we were fortunate to see a lot of wildlife, including some impressive large game that I will feature in a future blog entry. One animal, however, was a daily companion. Although I would call this cute creature a chipmunk, our guide to Canadian fauna called it a squirrel. In any case, they were everywhere, and they lacked all fear of humans, even crawling into our backpack during a brief stop atop Sentinel Pass.
