Close to the Continental Divide on the Hidden Lake Trail in Glacier National Park. I made this shot as the sun was setting behind Clements Mountain behind me.
We watched this grizzly dig into the side of the mountain at Logan's Pass for a good 10 minutes. We were a very safe distance from the bear with little to worry about. Even with a long telephoto the bear was still just a small part of the overall scene, but I liked the scene enough to share. I feel sorry for whatever it was hunting, but since we saw both marmots and squirrels in the area, my bet is it was one of those. I'm just glad it wasn't using it's claws to dig me out of a hole. :-)
Happy Labor Day! After spending a week in Glacier National Park I have a couple of thousand photos to go through and determine which ones I'll share with you. Hope you don't get tired of seeing this beautiful place. I'll start off this this shot I made as we left the park on Saturday morning. This was taken on McDonald Creek along the Going to the Sun highway. We drove past this spot several times, but never stopped until that morning. The light was really nice with low clouds blocking out the harsh sunlight, making for a pretty stellar scene along the creek. Looking at this shot makes me feel like I am right back there.
