Here is a very dangerous "Snow Bear" by the side of the road waiting for dinner to come by....

No bears, just a nice view of McKinley one day while driving back to Wonder Lake


Grizzly digging for the last snack before bed time


Visiter stopping by to see if we were good to eat... Guess not...


Sow with cub checking out gravel pit

If I recall correctly, they did a special about him also, it showed a lot of old black and white movies of him walking down the beach with a cane and bopping the bears on the nose that got too close.

I think I saw it on "Rain Country" some years back.

Maybe if I will run across it, I will post the address...

Not seen that but I'd like to....that would have most likely been video footage from the 30's or 40's
