Algonquin Moose: Wildlife Spectacle
This Algonquin Moose page is given over entirely to moose pictures. Every spring, as the snow and ice retreat, the road through Algonquin Park, Highway 60, is the setting for an unusual spectacle. Normally, large
animals
are shy of people (with good reason) and even more wary of roads but we humans have done something they really love. We salt the roads in winter and, after their long winter with little to eat, moose need salt. So all along the marshy roadside in the early morning and late evening, the moose come out to get their salt fix.
Just to show it isn't only in Spring you can see Moose in Algonquin Park. This was taken when we re-visited the Park for a Fall Colors tour.
