Not today, but yesterday.... wife & I were scouting for firewood, hadn't yet left the pavement when a sow & yearling cub slowly walked across the road just in front of us, then ran up the bank when we got too close. A short time later and a few miles up a dirt road, saw another sow, this one with two yearling cubs. We watched as they worked their way up a draw right in front of us.

Five bears is the most we've seen in one day.... made the trip worthwhile even though firewood was scarce.
