Black Bears in Enchanted Valley - Olympic NP

[BoulderDave]

Just got back from backpacking for a week in Olympic NP. Though you all would enjoy these pics of Enchanted Valley:

We saw over 12 individual bears including a 500lb bear who thought long and hard about invading our backcountry campsite. Only with intense screaming did he turn around and walk the other way.

Be sure to watch the video on that gallery.

Enjoy!

Serge - where in Jersey are you from? I grew up in Short Hills, NJ (but have lived here in Boulder for 12 years).
