CanadaJim told me there was a young grizzly at the pass near Peyto Lake, so as I drove to Banff ignoring all the black bears on the road, I loaded up my camera near the pass to see if he was right.
Here are the best shots. Thanks Jim.
Comments and feedback is appreciated.
This young bear is likely in his 3rd summer and has a long way to go in getting bigger.
