Experience the lives of grizzlies and black bears by visiting their homelands and learning about their food.  Meet at the trailhead; we’ll take an easy three mile round trip hike in search of bear tracks, scats, scratch marks on trees and other clues they leave behind.  Chuck will share stories from over forty years of watching and studying bears.  The Avalanche Lake area is an old growth cedar forest with ancient bear trails carved into the duff.  The Camas Meadow is a tranquil area rich with wildlife.
