Guided Grizzly Viewing Safari

Big bear Kevan and the Grizzly taking a break

Grizzlies are the symbol of the wilderness. View these awesome animals in their natural habitat as they progress through the seasons. In the spring, concentration is in the low meadows during breeding season. Then, follow them into the sub-alpine, examine their territory marker trees, explore their dens and collect data for our Grizzly Study.

Trails travelled by grizzly bear through the mountains are marked with rub trees or territory markers. We collect the hair from these trees, and GPS their locations for subsequent mapping and analyses. Inside a grizzly den The alpine meadows provide favored summer feeding ranges, and open areas allow for excellent sightings and photographic opportunities. Viewing is done by foot or by horse, returning nightly to camp(s).

“We were honored to see five Grizzlies during our stay. A truly amazing experience. Thanks to our expert guide, the grizzly had no idea that we were in front of it, and we were able to take some brilliant photographs and study him for quite some time. We were also lucky to see a pair of juvenile Grizzlies — twice! Fascinating to watch. Very photogenic.” Andrew Hunt & Deborah Fountain England
