Bear Jam

When the road is lined with cars and campers it's most likely a bear sighting. Locals call it a Bear Jam. Always keen to see a bear in the wild - there are lots of grizzlies and black bears around here - we too pulled the Prius over to take a closer look.

A mother black bear was looking up at tree, calling her cub down. The cinnamon-coloured cub, just a couple of months old, scrambled down. Mom rolled onto her back to let the little one suckle. Only half a mile from our lodge here in the Grand Tetons National Park, it was quite a sight to see.
