This is the turnoff from Banff to the # 1 highway to Calgary. They had to build the animals (especially the elk) their own crossing because that was where the natural crossing was and after the highway was built there were far too many accidents. I understand it didn't take the animals long to learn that this was their "road." Enjoy! [^]

  I bet they had to lay down hay or some type of food for some time to get them to go there. I used to have a deer trail behind the house until we cut some of the trees down.

  I have drove through Banff National Park a few times and in the 80s they would put an Orange marker flag on the side of the road where there was a dead Deer or Elk killed from a car.
  One trip through the park we counted over 140 orange flags and the year was only half over.
  
  I will say that Banff is a beautiful park and it was there that I saw for the first time a tremendous show of the northern lights. It was about 3am and I had pulled the car off to the side of the road to catch a nap and After a quick nap I woke up to the best natural light show I had ever seen.
