Bear Creek

We were driving away from Avalanche Lake in west Glacier and heading around the southern route to get to east Glacier when we passed a small highway sign that said “Bear Creek”.  I drove around a bend in the road and lo and behold, there was a family of Black bears, a mother and three cubs.  I had to make a U-turn to get back for photos and I’m glad we did.  I don’t know why, but April got all the best photos of this bear family.  The first and second photos are the momma bear with one cub.  As you can see from the second photo, one of the Black Bear cubs was brown.  But my favorite photo of this group is the third photo.  Apparently, baby bears like suckers just like young children like suckers.
