Guided Grizzly Viewing Safari
Grizzly Viewing Ranch or Camp Based
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.
Ranch based - We leave early in the morning to catch the Grizzlies feeding on the first fresh shoots and grasses of the spring. This is the time when the bear are re-establishing territories, and it is the start of the breeding season. Sightings and photographic opportunities are available throughout the day. Collecting hair samples, documenting sightings and tracks, and studying bear habitat and a winter den are all part of the experience. Viewing is done by a combination of foot and vehicle, returning nightly to Ranch.

Camp based - Trails traveled 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. 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."
