Not often, even as someone lucky enough to live in grizzly country, do you get viewing like this. Simply amazing. As we sat watching in two cars - the guests and I in one - the biologists in the other - Apple emerged and began walking towards us along the road. Barely a few yards from she turned and headed up a steep slope onto a mossy bank. We sat and watched transfixed for the next hour or so as she snoozed and dozed, occasionally raising her head to look at us. After a long while she stood up again, pranced like a cowboy, rubbed her back on a low tree and then urinated. When she had decided we were still no threat to her she headed down the bank and within a few yards of our cars before heading back to the river. Simply riveting and a fine way to finish of a really good season.
