Bear in the far distance circled.
We were not lucky enough to see a bear up close during our bear search, but one of our guides had a rifle with a telescopic sight on it with her. If you look at this photo, you will see that I have drawn a circle around a bear in the distance. The circle is on the horizon line between the two tree trunks. We had to take her word that it was a bear, but it appeared to be moving whatever it was.
