The Canadian Rockies are a vast mountainous landscape, stretching for about 1,000 miles from the top of British Columbia in the north to the US border in the south. They are home to jagged snowy peaks and stunning turquoise lakes, as well as a large number of charismatic big mammals such as Grizzly bears, black bears, elk, bighorn sheep, moose and caribou.
