[MCR] Hermit meadows Grizzly sighting

I just wanted to give everyone the heads up that we encountered a Grizzly sow and cub (we saw at least one),on our way up the hermit meadows trail @ 5:30am today (Thursday) – it was about 15min. short of the campsites where the trail traverse north.

 

The Sow huffed and was not happy – but fortunately she was a few hundred meters away and noticed we were heading away from them – so they did not follow us.

 

Major cold front ran through the area at @ 2pm accompanied by rain/sleet (there was a trace of snow over the Swiss Pks.) and of course lightening!

 

Safe travels – early starts,

 

Cheers,

Scott Davis
