About 30 yds when they were in the tree, about 20ft up. They had a nice sleeping area up there. We backed up a bit when mom climbed down. It was an awesome site. Mom climbed down and the baby kept looking over the limbs trying to see her and crying loudly, then it climbed down itself. They both climbed back up after a few minutes. My wife has cool video of it. Mom wasn't bothered by our presence at all. That last bear though, he made it clear he didn't want to be followed so I gave him his respects and called it a night. Luckily I had my camera up to my eye when he gave me the look. And into the forest I go, to lose my mind and find my soul. - John Muir #GMSTRONG

I would have been crapping my pants when the cub joined mom on the on the ground wondering if mom was about to defend her cub. Thanks for posting...

This location is known for it's Brown Bear activity where the bears frequent daily through the summer. Though we have seen moose in this area before, this is the second moose to visit this location in the past few days. It is "dating season" for moose which likely explains the recent moose sittings.

I've been fortunate to get some decent photo opportunities. There was one spotted at a ski resort in Colorado a few years back. It ran through 3-4 feet of snow like it was nothing. It's supposed to be hard! If it wasn't hard, everyone would do it. The hard... is what makes it great!
