Knowledge about the needs of a healthy grizzly population is growing as more and more administrators from a variety of jurisdictions work together to improve habitat for all species, humans included. In co-operation with Parks Canada, Dr. Mike Gibeau, one of Canada's leading authorities on grizzlies, will accompany you for the entire trip. Mike has worked with bears in national parks for the past 24 years, first as a park warden and now as a biologist. You will enjoy an amazing horseback adventure and share in a rare opportunity to spend time in some of Canada's prime grizzly habitat with professional interpretation.
