Black Bear Galleries

I have four black bear galleries containing pictures taken in Yellowstone National Park, Grand Teton National Park, or Mount Rainier National Park.

	My First Bears I had never seen a black bear in the wild until I visited Yellowstone in July of 2004, where I would see both adults and cubs.		Bears & Colors In the fall of 2005, it was the Tetons that provided great views of adults and cubs eating berries amid fall colors.
	From Roosevelt to the Dunraven Pass The area between Roosevelt and the Dunraven Pass is one of the most reliable places I've found for black bears in Yellowstone. Most of the time I've seen them near the road, but once I saw one up close on the southern trail to Mount Washburn.		Bears in Paradise In the fall of 2008, I was pleasantly surprised to find a handful of bears in the Paradise area of Mount Rainier National Park. In particular I spent a lot of time watching one young bear with a multi-colored coat.
