The 2nd of 3 close bear encounters on the short (30 miles) Bow Valley Parkway was over quickly. A huge Black Bear ran right past the car at 6 feet away. Jan took this image after reluctantly heeded my photo tip to roll down the window for better focus! Yes, in the heat of the moment I really said that. The Bow Valley Parkway is so active with wildlife the speed limit is only 60km (38MPH).
