57% Informative

The Whaleback region in southwest Alberta is a unique, bio-rich area of stunning natural beauty.

Home to one of the largest and least disturbed montane areas in Canada (think transitional land between mountains and prairies) It’s a sensitive and fragile environment, a critical ecosystem for elk, especially, who rely on the powerful snow-eating winds to keep food sources accessible during winter .

Andrew Penner is a freelance writer and photographer based in Calgary , Canada .

He set up a tent at the Bob Creek Staging Area in the morning half-light.

The snow intensified and the wind subsided, and I had Bob Creek all to myself.

Although the views were muted by a low-cloud sheen, the majestic montane world of the Whaleback was as strong as ever.
