Bear Vision!

So in this video you can see one of Yellowstone's many bears. I had been hiking all day, but I actually saw this bear on the side of the road when I inadvertently took a wrong turn. It turns out that this is a very efficient way to see wildlife- whenever you see people pulled over on the side of the road with their binoculars and gigantic cameras you know there is something worth stopping for. That is exactly how I found this guy. During my hike I saw some animals- the highlight being a bald eagle- and a few bear tracks in the mud but no bears on the hike. It was actually pretty unnerving seeing the fresh tracks. I felt a little alone at the time because there really weren't any other people around on this hike. I guess I was glad in a way that I didn't have a closer encounter with a huge grizzly. Enjoy!
