Grizzly Bear Habitat

Closest time I ever gotten to a bear, clost enough to shake hands

Grizzly bears Grinder and Coola are up at the top of Grouse Mountain. They have a decent habitat and seem relatively happy. There's a video about how they came to be up at Grouse shown in the Chalet as they were both rescued from the wild. There's a small interpretive centre and the bears come up really close to the fence. Beautiful animals and while I wish they were free and roaming, I understand why they are here. Rare you'll get a chance to see grizzlies from such close range.

Amazing

According to person here, last year grizzly bears went into sleep and they shut the door on 12/1. But they started sleeping from 11/15 or so. They are 19 years old, and they came here when they were cubs. Big one weigh around 1060 pounds and smaller one 900 something. The day was nice when we visited so we could see grizzly bear outside under the sun trying to eat some grass(?) and just hanging around. It was very nice.
