This black bear was just below Blackcomb Peak. I'm pretty sure he saw me before I saw him but when I first noticed him his head was down and he was eating. I saw a black shape that seemed out of place about 100 meters away and stopped. Then he looked up. He wasn't that interested in us, he just kind of looked up from time to time to keep track and then wandered off.
This was at 1860 meters altitude according to my GPS and he was eating grass. His coat was in good shape and he looked fat. In Waterton they go into hibernation in early November. I'm not sure about here. Anyway, it was snowing lightly and around 3 degrees C. There are supposed to be about 60 bears in this area.
