A bear? Over there!

We returned to Spada Lake and were not disappointed. (more info)

All vehicles must register at the entrance to the area. Melanie conquered the remaining snow that had came off the shed!

Most of the time on the lake, the water was glassy. The mountain views were fantastic.

At the end of one arm of the lake, we found a bear on the bank (at the left). We slowly moved next to this stump, and then watched him for about 10 minutes! Melanie could hear him snuffling as he was eating grasses and roots.

The wind kept our scent from him. He did eventually notice us, but we remained still and he went back to eating. When we finally decided to quietly leave, he became spooked and ran away.
