This is Elk Island National Park in Alberta near Edmonton. Ironically, I didn't see a single elk, but there were tonnes of free-romaing Bison. I woke up at sunrise every day while I was visiting Alberta because the scenes were so amazing. See the rest of the images from t his trip:

"An extraordinarily high density of animals makes Elk Island one of the best places in Alberta for year-round wildlife watching. More than 100 kilometres of trails for hiking and skiing extend throughout this fenced wilderness of lakes, spruce bogs, low forested hills and meadows. Five hundred plains bison, 400 wood bison, 400 moose and 1600 wapiti range throughout the park. Coyotes are often seen along the roadside. The park is also home to over 2000 beavers. In the transitional aspen forest, 228 bird species have been recorded, including red-eyed vireos, least flycatchers, song sparrows, northern saw-whet and great horned owls.
