First time seeing these magnificent creatures. We went after 7pm to score the cheap gondola tickets and avoid a lot of the tourist groups but the days are long so still plenty of light. The bears were hard to find initially but came out on their own accord shortly after arriving. Jaw dropping seeing how close these bears get. Highly recommend going at dusk due to far less people.
There's two bears, and it's such a fabulous set up. Watching the bears up close in their environment is brilliant. Really well set up there.
I loved it! Both bears are superstars! They pose and are really friendly and show themselves!
It was just amazing to watch them ! I would do it all over again !
The rangers tell you nice stories about them !

I learned so much about bears. The person speaking about them was encyclopaedically knowledgeable. My baby was also absolutely delighted by them. What incredible creatures!
There was a bonus today of having a spritz of water mist going around near the enclosure, too. A pleasant way to learn about a majestic creature I would not like to encounter on any other mountain wander.
Here are some photos to give you an idea of the closeness, but they cannot do the experience justice.

Having travelled all the way from New Zealand (with one of my hopes being to see bears) I was initially disappointed that all my photos would have mesh at the forefront, but after I found a spot that allowed a clearer view, I was enthralled. It is such a privilege to have the opportunity to see, experience and photograph bears like this. It's a great enclosure and a fantastic opportunity. If you are able to get here, it's more than worth the effort. Fabulous!!
This was such an informative experience! We learned so much about how bears hibernate. These grizzlies were just coming out of hibernation. Every now and again they would lift their heads and then, like a teenager, fall right back asleep. Would highly recommend this!!
Easy to get to once you step off the gondola. Had no troubles seeing the bears, though you might have to wait a bit if they're in the wooded area of the enclosure.
