Hi All,
This week we saw lots of moose and were dispatched to numerous bear sightings where the bear departed before we arrived on scene.
It started close to home as this cow moose walked past our coach at 8 AM. If you look closely you can see the legs of the calf behind mom.
This morning we found this bull moose under the Snake River Bridge
He attracted a lot of attention and we spent an hour talking to visitors and keeping them from getting too close to the moose.
Finally he walked under the bridge and off into the willows and out of sight
Once free of the moose jam we hiked up the east side of Jenny Lake with great views of Teewinot Mountain. As we hiked, our park radio broadcast a continuous stream of reported bear sightings in our area. Soon we were passing hikers reporting bears on the trail ahead. We found some bear scat but never spotted a bear.
Later, we met a couple who reported a black bear that stood up and put his front paws on the hood. Definitely not a well behaved bear.
A few minutes later, rangers were sent to a bear sighting in Jenny Lake Campground. Bear was gone before they arrived.
Soon after we heard a report of a bear that charged some hikers who had to use their bear spray. We arrived on scene soon thereafter but the bear was gone.
We are having a great time.
We are having a great time.
Love,
