Cow and Calf Moose
Bull moose we caught swimming the river in full velvet. By shutting off the boat, we are able to float up to these animals, for some amazing upclose photos.
Another nice bull moose we were able to float up to for another great photo op.
Bull elk, spotted just above the lodge.
The Athabasca River is home during the summer months to a large number of Bald & Golden eagles. They can be seen soaring overhead or perched high, around nearly every bend in the river.
Old telegraph office @ House River Settlement
Here is a dandy Whitetail buck
Canis Lupis, Timber Wolf crossing the Athabasca River. We have seen at one time or another almost every species of mammal that calls the Athabasca River banks its home, swimming the river
Another bull elk that has ventured far downstream from its winter range area- around Calling River, almost 100 km upstream
Scattered about the Grand Rapids are many odd shaped concretions. This one we call Alien Head.
This rock will require further studies, but we are almost convinced that it is indeed a dinosaur skull.
We call this set of cocretions Six Pack; each one of these rocks is almost a perfect sphere of a height of 1 meter.
this is a vertebra of a fish that lived 60 to 70 millon years ago, and resembled the same type of animal as described as the Lockness Monster
We call this concretion The Love Seat
In this little back eddy lay these large concretions of a hieght and width of 2 meters. we call it, "Home of the Knomes"
Just off the shore and in the main channel lies the Eye of the Grand
In a large rock at the bottom of the Grand the water has washed a near perfect hole in this rock called "The Toilet"...lol
