mtb Strange !! I had 2 bear encounters within 15 minutes at the same EXACT location on this trail just south of the intersection of this trail & the Hydroline Trail. 1st one was definitely a grizzly (I got a good pic before turning tail) & I couldn't be sure of the 2nd one, but I'm guessing it was a Black bear based on the reaction although I can't be certain of that point.

The Grizzly, although not alarmed and not in attack mode, was also not deterred as he kept plodding in my direction (I was alone that day). I turned tail and put some distance between us thanks to the bike, and I took the right to travel upwards on the Hydroline Trail (out of sight of the bear) and then took an observation post on up the trail. I saw the Grizzly as he ambled though that intersection toward Fox Creek and out of sight to my right (whew!).

Then I waited 10-15 minutes and then resumed my way on this trail (High Rockies) toward Elk Pass only to meet the 2nd bear in the same EXACT spot where I met the 1st one !! Crazy !!

However, this 2nd bear, in contrast to the 1st one, leaped into the air with all fours in the air, did a mid-air acrobatic turn and galloped off in the opposite direction in total flight mode. I think part of that reaction was in part due that he saw me before I saw him, and from his perspective, here was this 'thing' headed at him like a bullet. If truly a black bear, then these beast would be in defense mode with all the Grizzlies around whereas I think a Grizzly would be more apt to attack if alarmed in such a way as this bear was.

Anyway, I count myself as fortunate in both instances. 		Variableview
