Going through some old videos.
Denali 2012
This is a collection of clips my brother shot while we were tent camping in Denali National Park. My profile picture is one of the bears from the video. I was taking pictures as he filmed.

I supposed once you are that close you already have a plan if they approach. Yikes, that is close. Those are Grizzlies!

@Anemone It was a pair of courting bears. The male came within 75 feet of us to look and turned away. We had a vehicle close by that we could quickly get into. The bears of Denali have a diet that is about 95% vegetation. They really don't associate people as a meal so we felt fairly safe. In the past few years I have hiked in the park by myself and have had several close encounters with bears, but I am more afraid around the moose. They are always having a bad day!

@gettinaway Agreed. Moose are the ones I fear the most as well. I saw a lovely cinnamon brown bear deep in the mountains in southern BC once - hiking with a friend, we turned around quickly. It was cute, but we were truly nowhere, not on a trail.

@InvaderGzim He has some beautiful shots. His website says he is from Canada! I need to check it out some.
