Great captures of a nice bear. Saw one there from the tour boat, never got really close. Have also seen them crossing the road, again not close enough.

Nice shots...this one looks like it's ready to find a hole for the winter. How close were you?

I have been to many national parks, and I can firmly and decisively tell you that the Glacier area this fall put on a wildlife and scenery show the likes I have never seen. Truly mindblowing. What a park! Delivers year after year.

Great shots, it is nice to be in a vehicle when they are this close. I worked in Glacier during the summers for 30+ years. Have seen lots of bears but can't hold my camera steady enough to get a picture.

Excellent shots...was hoping to see some bear while Yellowstone & Grand Tetons this year but didn't. Great captures.
