Waterfalls, bison and a black cougar!: Photos 21 to 30

Hello, all!

We have enjoyed the last part of our journey with our lovely new-used car. We saw Faro, Keno and Mayo, three little towns in the Yukon with boom and bust histories of mining for gold, zinc and silver. We saw a cow moose and two calfs , ate wild strawberries, raspberries, saw an abandoned mine, travelled gravel roads, camped at some very pretty campgrounds...it is nice to be on the road again!

Heading up the Liard Highway just before we cross Northern BC into the Northwest Territories, after seeing mountain goats, moose, black bears, foxes, caribou....we saw the most elusive of all animals. It was black, long tail, moved like a cat, and was very large! It was a black cougar! After confirming with a local man in Fort Simpson that cougars come in all colours, and that this cougar was spotted elsewhere in the area, we were very excited. No time for a photograph as the cougar moved fast crossing the road in front of us, but we have the memory and story!

We had another major highlight! We took a flight through the Nahanni National Park (a UNESCO World Heritage Site) in the Northwest

Hi Guys, I spent 3 months in Fort Simpson in 2002 -- great place! Who flew you into Nahanni? The falls are amazing! FYI -- Kory and I split up. Sigh. He has left for Nova Scotia and I will be relocating to Ottawa for a while. Cheers, S.

Hi Sarah, Dan was our pilot. We had Scott do the falls tour. Lovely place! Sorry about your news. Good luck with your relocation. Theresa and Dave

I have just moved to Smithers BC from London Ont. and i have been seeing the coolest Animals here! So far I have seen about 16 bald eagles, 3 moose very close up and this morning I was looking out my window and saw a Baby Moose and its Mom. They took off in a hurry, But then like 2 secs later we saw the BLACK COUGAR running down the mountain after a rabbit. We saw the cougar go back up the hill and then we saw the rabbit. No breaky for the cougar. Hope to see it again!!! Peace Tracy
