50- 60 feet is too close unless you were in the bus or on an elevated platform like Katmai.

When shooting grizzly, try and get shots of their paws with claws if you can. It always adds something to the pic to see the size of them

You mean as they are about to swipe across your face?? OK-probably nice but better leave that to the pros and experienced. I was lucky enuf to visit there and saw grizzlies but they were a long ways off-probably good 'cause I am the slowest. But what a place, right?!? Thanks for sharing-you'll remember and talk about those for years.

Nope no bus for us. We had a road pass from a lodge owner. So we were in our own vehicle, lucky us for sure!

You say I'm an amature in wildlife photography. But you forgot to mention your on the Olympic sprint team.. Daring to be so close.

Like 2 & 3. Very very nice.

Ya know bears aren't really interested in eating humans right? This time of year they are eating 23 hours a day to prepare for hibernation. He was all business in a blueberry patch when I got these pictures. :)

They're actually after all the berries that are growing in the park now....unless they run across a ground squirrel or rabbit.

Nice. Were were in Denali last week and we didn't see any bears, but we didn't take the bus tour. We saw our bears on the Russian River.
