"Can we let her get a little closer?" I asked, as the huge grizzly sow ambled across the hillside towards us, oblivious to our presence and trailing three fat cubs in her wake. I was hoping for a nice photo, having lugged my camera gear up the mountainside in case of a chance encounter. But my guide Jake was wiser in these matters, and announced our location by walking a few steps, shouting and waving his arms. The bear took a good long look and swapped ends, running back around the hill with her cubs in tow.
