We continued on the trail around the meadow, keeping vigilant as we walked. Then Anna spotted another darker brown bear heading into the meadow. A ranger on the trail told us that the second bear was a mama bear with cubs in a nearby tree.
You can see in the photo that the darker brown bear has been tagged by rangers (the other bear was not tagged). Bears that come in regular contact with humans are tagged so that their behavior can be monitored.
Here are some videos of the bear and her cubs:
What an amazing experience. We got to watch the cubs in the tree for a good ten minutes before mama decided to get on the move again.
