Grizzy Bear Right-of-Way

river-scenery-8

If you choose to stay the extra night at our lodge the extra day is spent at a “wild” river on a wilderness tour.  We cross Knight Inlet pass through Thompson Sound to the Kakweikan River and spend a day with Trapper Rick.  The scenery on BC’s mainland in breathtaking and the wildlife viewing provides a reasonable chance of grizzly bear sightings.  Bears are viewed below the falls at Rick’s cabin or on the road to the cabin.  In this case it was on the road and we wait until the bear decides to let us pass.  Having guided for the past twelve summer I can say that seeing a grizzly bear at Rick’s is a different sensation than see one from a viewing stand on Knight Inlet’s Glendale River.
