As a family we hadn’t seen a bear yet since moving to Montana.  I saw 4 last summer, 1 driving home from Bridger, one driving out Fairy lake road, 1 hiking in the Spanish peaks (a cub and we didn’t see mom!!!) and one driving through YNP too far away with too short a lens.  Elias and I also saw one on the way to Bridger in the fall on the side of the road.  But this past weekend we drove to YNP and through Lamar Valley and we ALL got to see a bear!  And he/she was just hanging out eating so we were able to watch it for ~15 minutes.  We’re pretty sure it’s a cinnamon bear.  It’s the color of a grizzly but it’s ears are too big and it’s missing the shoulder hump.
