Do you see the black bear tucked into the treeline on the right? Do you also see the family stuck down the trail a little? They were too scared to ride passed the bear, which is completely understandable. 2 parents with 2 small children. We didn't feel threatened by the bear, so we rode down and escorted them safely passed the bear. With 6 of us passing by with the kids in the middle, we got the family to the other side safely. Only for us to turn around and ride passed the bear again. Making 3 trips passed this patient black bear in Castlegar BC.
