Spent last Sunday in a cabin reserved for travellers in need of a place to rest on the road between Haines Junction, Yukon, and Haines, Alaska, located in Tatshenshini-Alsek Provincial Park in Northern British Columbia. Almost immediately after arriving, a grizzly bear emerged from the bush and sauntered past, in search of food to help him or her survive the upcoming winter. Never seen a grizzly before so I was rather excited. Everyone else was a wee bit more worried about the wild powerful animal passing by, only 30 feet away, and weren't that interested in discussing it for the next three hours. I watched it walk down the side of the highway for about 20 minutes, and then was happy to see it return (although his or her return made me somewhat more nervous!). I'm thankful that I was finally able to see a grizzly and am now in search of polar, kodiak, glacier and kermode bears.
Note that a lynx, a coyote, and some swans were also seen that day.
