My father-in-law Richard and I stumbled across this young grizzly while walking on the Avalanche Peak trail near Sylvan Lake. We came around a corner and found him about thirty yards above us on a hillside, grazing on grasses and flowers. We quietly held our ground while I snapped fifty pictures or so, and watched him for about five minutes until he finally spotted us. But, more interested in the salad bar, he continued eating before sauntering further up the hill and out of view. It was truly a special moment for both of us!
