We were parked when a bear came into
the camp. He was more scared of us and
ran up the tree. Photo is dark and blurred,
because of low lighting conditions..

Saw another bear on Road#21 near Indigo
Springs Campground in August 2006.
It was from a longer distance and the bear
was just crossing the road.
