Hiking in the Sierras 2005
Day 4: Eureka Peak
My first bear encounter in the wild!






Aw, ain't he cute?!





Happily, my first bear was a yearling with no momma in sight. Small, cute, and safe. Gotta love it! He minded his own business searching for a grub lunch except to occassionally peer over at us to make sure we were also minding our business.
