There’s a bear in there?
Well not yet there isn’t. We have been in the Rocky Mountains for six days and we have seen some wildlife. Small mammals are quite common, particularly squirrels. The Golden Mantled Ground Squirrels are pretty much tame and very used to people. Other creatures such as marmots, mountain goats and elk are a bit shyer. All these animals are great but they are not the one we are really after – the Grizzly Bear.
We have lots of stories of bear encounters, bears chasing bike riders, one bear that wouldn’t move off the trail and bers eating grain on the railway line. But as yet there is no bear in there.
