Beautiful day on Saturday. Saw seven bears in the meadow to the west of the lookout. One large blonde! A Mama and her cubs cruised up and down the ridge all morning. The cubs were very playful. Was a kick to watch then wrestle each other!
On the trail, just at the basin a black bear seemed to enjoy popping up a couple times a day. There were two hikers who all but throw their packs and ran when they came upon the bear. The bear could care less of their presence. He just looked at them and sundered down the ridge towards the lake.
Since we had such a late spring the berries are late getting to that yummy stage for the bears. There are a lot more bears sighted since my last trip up in July.
It's getting cold up there! I was told that it snowed a wee bit on Thursday of this past week.
