This photo was taken by our son-in-law. Our vehicle was ahead when these Grizzlies crossed the road in front of him. We were driving down the Going to the Sun Road in Glacier National Park.

When in Yellowstone last May parts of the park were still closed by snow and there was a lot of snow still on the ground in the parts of the park that were open. Near the turnoff for Old Faithful and as we were leaving the area we saw this Grizzly sow and cub playing in the snow and watched them for quite a while. We had seen them foraging earlier on our way into the Old Faithful geyser basin but they were in the trees and we did not get good photos.

Photographed along the main road near the Old Faithful geyser basin, this Grizzly sow and cub were playing in the snow.

This Grizzly Bear sow was photographed near Yellowstone Lake in September. She was digging for roots and grubs and would soon be hibernating. She paid no attention to the people had stopped to watch here, though many were out of their vehicles and far too close, in my opinion.

Leaving Yellowstone via the east entrance we spotted these Grizzlies just outside the park. There were actually three of them, a sow and two good-sized cubs. The light was fading and photos were difficult but we managed a few.

As we were leaving Yellowstone National Park via the east entrance we saw this Grizzly near the far end of Yellowstone Lake. Fat and looking ready for hibernation, he (or she) was digging for food and paid little attention to the people who were watching. Later we would see three more Grizzlies just outside the park.

Also known as the North American Brown Bear, Ursus arctos, is the largest bear in North America. This female (sow) was photographed along the road in Kootenay National Park and apparently had two cubs nearby though we did not see them.

The hump on the back and the long nose distinguish the grizzly from the black bear.
