Bear Sighting

As we were heading out of the Canyon on the way to Tahoe, we had noticed ALOT of bear "sign" in the road.....so we were kind of looking around just in case....and we came around a corner and a big black bear sow crossed the road right in front of us. She didn't immediately go into the bushes but stopped at the side of the road and looked as if she was going to climb a tree...looking up into the tree and then looking back at us. We couldn't get stopped in time so we went on around the corner turned around and came back....and she was still by the base of the tree and this is why....




We stopped and took a few photos but didn't want to disturb them, Mom bear stayed in the bushes below the tree watching us intently...
