Here we are at Brooks Falls, wow and did it live up to expectations. These bears have lived with a plentiful food resource and they have no anxiety about humans and the park programs keep the visitors informed with certain rules so it is nirvana for bear viewing. When we first arrived, we were walking down the trail and came upon a huge brown bear headed our way (walking briskly), and I pretty much froze and then we remembered we are to get off the path and give the bears right of way. The bear passed not ten feet away and another one close behind. It was a little unsettling, but great in retrospect.
