After many year of careful conservation, Banff and Jasper National Parks have become vast zoological gardens. This film shows us many intimate views of the creatures of the wild, big and small, that inhabit the forested mountain slopes of these parks. Deer, moose, bear, big-horn sheep, birds and small animals that live above the treeline, are natural subjects for close-up camera shooting against a backdrop of snowy peaks of the Canadian Rockies.
