A young grizzly cub in Alberta, Canada. It was browsing with its sibling and mum, who were both brown.

Always so exciting to meet local residents as you're driving down the road.
We happened across this mama grizzly and her (two) cubs while heading toward Jasper in Alberta. We saw them in the undergrowth first and pulled over to watch. Eventually, she walked right past us with one of her cubs in tow.
For the eagle-eyed, yes, she seems to have a tracking collar.

Frozen in our tracks, literally! While hiking around Echo Lake, we spotted this track in the frozen snow. It's from a California Black Bear. They do hibernate, but not reliably. They're frequent wakers, and some, with a reliable food source, don't bother to hibernate.
I've seen several while camping, but always after dark, so haven't got a good picture yet.
