Bear is attempting to follow my buddy across the log.

He decides he won't follow us off a cliff and takes a safer, wetter route.

The snow was a mixed blessing as it kept our drinks and fish cold, but we got really
lost as it covered 40% of the trail.

Bear leading the backpackers. As if he knows where he's going.

One of Bear's many breaks.

Considering going down the rock water slide?

Bear is calling it a day.

Next morning, Bear is still tired.

Where better to have a seat than in the water?

Bear has been banished from leading the pack; he almost sprained his leg twice by
falling through melting snow. So at this point, I kept him behind me so I could navigate
his path.
