A little better perspective on the distance.
Right after the first two passed from view, this little one came hurrying along after.
Before this, the only time I'd seen a bear in the Bitterroot was while driving home on the East Fork Road last fall at around midnight. When my headlights reached the bear, it launched straight up a steep hillside, so all I saw was a vertical black blur. It's extremely impressive how quickly a bear can go straight uphill. That song "The Bear Went Over the Mountain" ain't kidding. And that was in late fall, when the bear would've been at its maximum weight getting ready to go into hibernation.
