We often see mother and cubs while viewing the Grizzly Bears. Grizzly Bears are slow reproducers, but the mothers take excellent care of their young. These bears are near the river and the mother is doing a good survey for potential dangers before venturing out with her cub.
Guide Photos
Awesome sights on a daily basis!
Each day our guides see something new, it never gets old for these guys. Check out some of their photos from guiding bear and whale watching excursions.
The Little Things
We are very lucky to be located in the Great Bear Rainforest, where the wildlife is plentiful and the scenery is spectacular. Often we take for granted the little things, which are also beautiful, such as this small falls entering Knight Inlet. The larger waterfall in the back is Rainbow Falls, which is just past Glendale Cove where we do most of our Grizzly Bear watching.

Still Evening Scene
This summer we were fortunate to have a photography student stay with us at the lodge. He spent a lot of time at our wild river where we conduct our extra day trip. He was Trapper Rick’s assistant helping him search for Grizzly Bears looking for salmon along the river. Felix’s accommodation there may have been basic (just a tent), but he definitely had a million dollar view. You can see some of his pics here felixrome.smugmug.com/ and we will be featuring many of them on the blog.
Good Day to Work
Humpback Whales Feeding 5 of 5

It was an experience my guest will never forget. I know that it is one of the highlights of fifteen years of guiding for Grizzly Bear Lodge.
Humpback Whales Feeding 4 of 5
Two minutes after the previous posting was the lunge that made the owner of the boat think he might need a larger boat. I know this because we stopped and talk and I eventually sent him a series of photos for his collection. This lunge was less than two meters (yards) from the side of the Oliver Clark….

Humpback Whales Feeding 1 of 5
Contrary to the blog title this is not a photo of a humpback whale lunge feeding but it does show the reason for the lunges in the next four posting. The boiling water off the bow of this boat and beside the skiff is a massive herring ball. The ball or rather large school of herring surrounds the boat….
