A moment in time to remember always

There are several options for bear watching opportunities in Canada. Imagine a rail trip through the internationally celebrated Rocky Mountains, watching for grizzlies from a specially built domed observation car. Travel to the north coast of British Columbia to see Kermode or Spirit Bears in the one place on earth where they dwell, isolated for thousands of years from the rest of the country, perhaps lucky enough to see a white-coated black mama bear with her cub. Journey to a remote fjord in northwestern British Columbia to enjoy a boat tour to the hunting and fishing grounds of grizzlies, the second-largest Canadian mammal in North America, as they scavenge for berries, amble through trees, or expertly catch and devour salmon.
