ABOUT THIS REGION  HISTORICAL TOURS

History and habitat of the grizzly bear

Year 2001 was celebrated as the "Year of the Great Bear" throughout the Rocky Mountains. This pack trip focuses on the history, habitat and future of the grizzly bear. Over the past 100 years of horse travel in the Rockies, your guides can attest to the compatibility between bears and horseback travel. Whatever the reason may be, bears take little notice of horse parties and this makes this trip a safe and effective way of observing the bears.

History and habitat of the grizzly bear

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.
