Neat photos, phat! I never realized that grizzly tracks were that much different (aside from being bigger) than black bear!

I remember once being on a group hike in the North Cascades and, during the hike, spotting two bears (black), which our leader insisted was the same bear twice. As a result, the leader insisted on hanging the whole group's food from a tree. They tied everyone's food bags together, after many tries managed to get the other end of the rope over a high branch, and then two guys got on the end of the rope and heaved. Everything went fine until the food bags were just about high enough, and then the rope broke--splat! After that, I went and hung my own food elsewhere. Of course there was never any sign of bear near our camping area.
