Grizzly Bear in Banff, Alberta

by Mike
(Peterborough,ON, Canada)

I grew up in Toronto, so I had never seen a wild grizzly bear before.

But I was at a picnic table in Banff last summer - uploading pictures to my laptop - when someone (calmly) yelled out from there car on the road, "eh...there's a bear".

I looked up and there's a grizzly bear looking right at me!

Without thinking, I got up and ran back to my car. To my amazement, the bear was running away from ME, just as fast. Whew !
