To the person who got the bear pics! Where was this along the vermillion lake trail, I have been twice and hope to go back next year, were you walking along the road with the lake next to you? What time of year and time of day was this? How fabulous! Has anyone else seen bears here, if so whereabouts/how far down the road from Banff?

Sorry I'm not the person who saw the bears. We did see one up close right next to the parking lot at Minnewanka Lake, one along the road on the Icefield Parkway, and one in Waterton Lakes National Park. I think the chance of seeing a bear is a matter of luck. There were warning signs that bears were out and about at most of the sights we visited. They do try to stay away from people. I certainly wouldn't want to see one while walking along the road! We were always safely in our car. I found this information online: "Getting up early in the mountains pays off. At dawn or just afterwards presents one of the best opportunities to see wildlife. The next optimal times are in the late afternoon and in the couple of hours prior to sunset. These are the active feeding hours for many of the animals... Ironically the best time of the year to see wildlife in the Canadian Rockies is during the slower tourist seasons of spring, fall and winter. This is when many of the animals move to lower elevations and near towns for mating rituals or food. Fall is also the time when bears are actively foraging. They need to pack on as much fat as possible before winter. By late October most of the bears have gone back into hibernation.... The odd bear can be seen as early as mid to late March, but most of them start to come out of hibernation in late April and early May... Bow Valley Parkway (Hwy 1A) – a lesser traveled road with better chances to see wildlife such as mule deer, wolves, coyotes, black bear, grizzlies, bighorn sheep and elk. Optimal times are near sunrise and sunset... The road to Sunshine ski area – cougars and occasionally grizzly bear have been spotted along the road... Lake Louise is a prime grizzly bear breeding area. Visitors are often surprised that the campground located in the village of Lake Louise has an electric fence around it to keep the bears out. Around the lake – female bears and cubs have often been spotted at the back of the lake in the spring... above the start of the lakes shore trail... Plain Of Six Glaciers Trail – grizzlies can often been seen feeding on the grassy slopes in the distance during the summer and early fall.... The road to Lake Louise – on the 4km road that connects the village to Lake Louise you might get lucky and see grizzly bears and their cubs feeding in the grasses.... Moraine Lake – The hikes that are accessed from this area are frequented by grizzly bears. Restrictions are put in place on certain trails where a minimum party of six is required. Check with the local Parks Canada office or on their website for current notices. Lake Louise Gondola – from June through September up the ski hill can be an excellent way to see grizzly bears feeding on the grassy slopes.... Maligne Lake Road – an excellent drive to spot wildlife. Near Medicine Lake you can often see Bighorn Sheep and black bears. Look for Pika in the rocky area near the shore of the lake. Moose have been spotted along this road, but they are a rare. Pyramid Lake Road – possible sightings of moose and bear along the road side and beavers at the lake....Black bears are also spotted on hiking trails in Jasper and on higher elevation hikes you can sometimes see a grizzlies....West of Jasper along the Yellowhead Highway #16 there are often elk, sheep, bear and deer spotted, and the occasional moose....Icefields Parkway - Grizzly bears and more often black bears can be spotted near the roadway at any point along the parkway." (Information from banff and beyond website) I hope this helps!
