When he turned back around the bear had decided it was more in the mood for huckleberries than humans, and had started to wander away.
He said he thought for sure that was the last time he'd ever see a wildflower, fortunately it wasn't. He's been back at the same location several times since, but is now more on the lookout for those fuzzy fellas.
When we were there we saw a couple of grizzlies not to far from Many Glacier Lodge.....less than 1/4 mile.....along the shore of Many Glacier Lake.
So if you're gonna hike or wander around......Take bear spray!!! Better safe than dinner!
