Great start to this holiday for our guests. Barely had they arrived, when a grizzly made its way slowly into view in the river at the end of the garden. Masha, one of our shepherds, began to bark insistently but the bear was undeterred and made its way slowly down the far bank, taking a fish here and a fish there, until it crossed over and passed from view.
The next morning we also had a great sighting a little higher on the river. Watching from a high vantage point we saw a grizzly walking across a gravel bar. We headed down to the bank and called Gillian on the radio and as all six of us sat there watching the bear came right up the other side of the river, before turning its bottom to us and disappearing into the bush.
