Black Bear

We came across this brown Black Bear on the trail in the Hetch Hetchy part of Yellowstone. He was between us and the way out. I was so afraid and so exhilarated at the same time.

A Bear encounter in Yosemite

This black bear surprised us on a trail in the Hetch Hetchy area of Yosemite National Park. The black bears in this area have more of a brown coat. This is probably a male judging on his size. We were pretty much scared out of our gourds. We slowly moved back and started talking and singing so he knew we were not sneeking up on him. He just went on his merry way doing cute bear things. We had to wait for at least 15 minutes to make sure that he was off of the trail before we continued.
