Seeing a grizzly bear at such a close distance was a real treat. Here, it was easy to see that the bear had a blue-black tongue, similar to that of the giraffe.

Frequently, wild animals have coats that are matted or ditry. This bear looked like it had just come out of a beauty salon. Its coat was bright, shiny and clean. It was a magnificent animal in every way.

Ox Bow Bend is one of the best places in the park to take photographs. The bend in the river is a great place to see wildlife. We've seen moose, beaver, elk, eagles, muskrats - and now grizzly bears. It's also a great place to get reflection shots of the mountains.
