The first was a little baby cub. Katie was sooo funny -- she says, "hey there's a cute little cub!" And I swear she almost rode over to try and put it in her backpack before she realized that mama bear wouldn't be far off. The cub b-lined into the bush without incident. The second sighting was of a bigger bear, but still not full size. We were only 3km away from our vehicle when Schwartzee saw what first looked like a dog making huge time in the trees, but when it got closer it was confirmed no dog!
We were riding near Canmore on a fun set of trails -- had lunch overlooking Barrier Dam and had a grunt of a climb afterwards for about an hour. Some sections were 40% grade -- as you can see from the map.
Beautiful weather - just beat a thunder storm coming over the foothills.
