Every spring around this time of year I head out and up into the mountains looking for grizzly bears.I travel out to
that placeand use an old logging/ mining road to access the area where they frequent in the spring.
Today I rounded up some food, binos, camrea, spotting scope, water and threw it in my rigging sack ,out the door I went
This year is a different spring in the mountains compared to others.
There is still quite alot of snow yet where it is bare things are greening up really fast.
Avalanche slopes green up with vegetation midslope as all the snow is usuaully swept off slope earlier in the winter.Very important habitat for all types of wildlife year round.I walked in around 3 miles from parking the truck.Wading through snow when I had to
Heres one slide path(avalanche slope) that I kept watch on for a few hours
The road I travelled
My travelling companion making sure I get it right!!
One of the avalanches from this winter.Notice the dirt and debris in the snow,When they travel they take all in the way with it
Here is where a grizzly had been foraging on a slide
Some bear food
Glacier Lilies.They have a corm which is also good for us to eat
Heres a picture of a lily that didnt get eaten.With the sun we have had I make it I was 2 days late to see the bear
Spring Beauty
which has a tuber it is also good for us to eat
Another of the scenery out that way
Didnt see a G Bear today but managed to see a Black Bear sow with 2 last years cubs.Looks as if they spent an easy winter as they were in fine shape.Too far for pictures
I had a very nice afternoon and left for ther walk out at dark
