These two juvenile grizzlies were tired of waiting so they thought that maybe if they had a fight is might attract the salmon? It seems that our guests did not care why the activity was changing just that it was changing and that it made for much better photo opportunities.
Grizzly and cub passing through

This photo taken on August 27th shows a grizzly and her first year cub on the walkway between the two viewing stands. Just passing beneath our viewing stand and walking down the road. This bear is still pretty lean without the fat “belly” she will need prior to denning for the winter. The salmon have just arrived in the river and over the next two months her cub and her will need to add enough fat from gorging on salmon to survive the winter.
