Every summer my supervisor suggests that we do a group hike every month. Unfortunately organisation of the outings always falls on to me so we usually end up doing one hike per summer. After scouring the hiking literature for an interesting hike that was essentially wheel chair accessible (some group members carry a number of sporting and food induced injuries) I came up with Chester Lake. Unfortunately on the morning of the hike a Grizzly Bear warning was posted for the trail so we were forced to Black Prince Cirque. For some reason I seem to have a poor memory for difficult sections of hikes and I though the hike was easier than what it actually was. However, in the end no one died and we had a great day.
A friendly Grizzly poses for the tourists and despite how big this one looks it is probably only a couple years old and has a lot more growing to do!

We met a Grizzly while hiking to Black Prince Lakes on July 17th. We (a group of four) were about 20ft from the bear as it was hiding in an avalanche shoot / stream bed next to the trail.

What exactly is a food induced injury?
Food injuries come about when people believe that they can violate the first law of thermodynamics.
