First bear encounter

We went for a gentle cross country ride on our downhill bikes today, along one of the valley trails in Whistler and met this little fella happily eating dandelions.
We watched him for about five minutes from about forty metres and then he disappeared quickly down the bank when another two people walked down the trail from the other direction. My guess is he/she was a young 'teenage' bear, not fully grown but old enough to leave mum - not too scary.

    My son (Kyle) has been there since March and he still hasn't seen a bear and he was in Whistler only a couple of weeks ago! Lucky you!

    hi Michelle, Tell Kyle next time he is in Whistler, to walk the Lost Lake Loop . That is where we saw this bear.

      Thanks Jill, I'll do that. I think he is going back that way soon, he's in Prince George at the moment.
