This Grizzly was across the river from us in Glacier, he started to swim across the river towards us (in the car watching from the road), turned back and relieved himself mightly, stood up and sniffed the air and then swam across, but disappeared up or down the river before reaching us. Maybe 200 yards from us when Kay took this picture. We also saw a sow and 2 cubs and 2 big ones for a toal of 6 griz, a moose and 6 or 8 mountain goats.

8-12 -- We are in Canmore, BC (Just outside Banff) tonight and tomorrow night.
