Wildlife Watching in the Robson Valley

Black bears are commonly spotted in the valley, foraging in meadows and along river banks, particularly in spring and late summer. Grizzly bears also inhabit the backcountry around Mount Robson. Moose are frequent visitors to the wetlands and willow flats near Valemount, often seen in the early morning and at dusk. Mule deer, white-tailed deer, and mountain goats are also present in the area, with goats visible on the higher alpine slopes during summer months.

The best times for wildlife viewing are early morning and late evening, when animals are most active. Bring binoculars and a camera with a zoom lens for the best experience. Always maintain a safe distance -- at least 100 metres from bears and 30 metres from other large animals. Never approach, feed, or provoke wildlife. If hiking in bear country, carry bear spray, make noise on the trail, and travel in groups. The trails on the Terracana property offer excellent wildlife viewing with the comfort of knowing you're never far from the lodge.
