Driving to Elbow Falls (Pics inside)

Prince_of_Persia · 09-11-2011, 10:12 PM

So it was gorgeous in Calgary today so I decided to go for hiking (basically an excuse to drive my M3 lol). I had so much fun driving that I totally missed my turn lol So arrived and went for a short hiking when I noticed the bear warning signs by the river. Decided to go by the river and take few pics; when I was coming up, saw a black bear behind me. I think I was so lucky that it did not attack me. Anyways, I took some pics that I uploaded few here.

P.S. Posted this in Canadian section but wanted you guys to see it as well.

Beautiful place! No worries about the bear, he'd have just given you a "hug."

Cool pics man.

Beautiful area. Keep coming a little further west....we had a grizzly in our parking lot last month....lol.

Wow !
the black bear was the money shot!

I guess one has to be careful don't live the M3 unlocked
could you imagine if you go back and the black bear is inside 'loving it?'

Nice! Decent hiking area too! Don't think the bears care too much about us right now, I think there is plenty of food out there still.

NYCM3ryder · 09-12-2011, 08:11 AM

wow looks like that day was fun... great shots

Awesome! Great picture of the bear. I've seen cubs in Bear Mountain NY, go figure. Didn't realize they lived up there. I wish I had my iphone then...
