"Stone Mountain Provincial Park, 25,691 hectares of mountain wilderness, introduces Alaska Highway travellers to spectacular landscapes and incredible wildlife viewing opportunities in the northern Rocky Mountains."

Yeah, yeah, I`ve heard and read it all before. Talk up an area in order to attract tourists and their money. Sure.
Wait a sec. What`s that next to the road? Wake up Ian, it`s a full grown moose!!
But the odds were not high on getting an award-winning photograph: hands near shaked in disbelief and hardly able to hold the camera still inside the car, without my normal tripod crutch. Plus slow telephoto lens with no modern image stabilisation.But he and she hung aroung long enough for me to take a lot of photographs, so that some of them were bound to be good enough for this site at least.
