Of Bears and Berries: Hiking in the Track of the Griz

Glacier Institute
Description:
Cost: $65
Why do grizzlies have that big hump on their back? Why do they choose to climb to the top of 10,000 foot peaks in Glacier National Park? Are black bears or grizzlies better tree climbers? In this course, we will discuss these common questions and many more as we hike through important grizzly habitat and discuss historical events that have helped shape Glacier's present day bear policies. On the trail we will look for bear sign, scat, and feeding opportunities for trail side talks. We will discuss the life cycle of the bear, including mating, reproduction and raising the cubs. Join us, as we have much to learn from the black bears and grizzlies of Glacier.
