Ten Peaks Designs

*NEW ANIMAL*

Our first new animal for 2026 is the MORANT’S CURVE BLACK BEAR!

This is a special one because it’s a story from one of my very first wildlife encounters when I first arrived in the mountains.

This piece can be found on our website, at our in person markets this year and at the in Lake Louise.

As always, our mountain silhouettes are of the mountains you see at the location. This one in particular was a bit of a challenge to design with all the elements I wanted to include like the river and the trees and of course the train tracks. I wanted to make sure I included the leaning trees on that curve in the river.

THE STORY:
“Now a days the road sign says “Morant’s Curve”, but not long ago it used to say “Outlook Creek”. I was new to the area and was meeting someone at Morant’s Curve for sunrise but I wasn’t sure if I had the right place in mind. I googled and went for a drive to confirm it was the right place. It was. 

When I got there, I saw a black bear on the train tracks. I managed to capture 2 photos before a train started coming from around the corner.

My reflex was to yell “Get off the tracks a trains coming” to the bear like it spoke English. Luckily the train engineer saw me and blew the horn and the bear ran down and then off the tracks.”

We will be at the next week April 3 & 4 for the Easter Market!

Come visit and say hi and see some of our new 2026 animals. We will be launching them mid week!
