Nahanni National Park

For significant wildlife, we saw one cow moose, one bull moose, four or five black bears, one likely grizzly bear, one caribou, four Dall sheep, a couple of peregrine falcons, a few eagles, extremely skittish Canada geese, several unidentified species of ducks, ravens, gray jays, shore birds, and squirrels.

Speaking of animals, we saw Dall sheep, wood bison, a lynx (I was the only lucky one who saw it), harlequin ducks, a moose, and wolverine tracks.

We spotted incredible wildlife during this trip—bighorn, bison, black bears, one grizzly and we were even blessed to have a whole pack of wolves running on the shore next to us as we paddled.

Later, we saw a group of five bison cross the river while we waited for our pickup in the village of Nahanni Butte.
