Had a black bear pass

Right in front of us on trail right by fishcap lake. Although I live next to Shenandoah so use to them. I went up the northern highline and got a great show of 2 grizzlies chasing another grizzly. Thankfully it was through binoculars but for a few moments thought it was on but then the 2 broke off and started messing with each other, assume they were brothers but you could tell they were having fun (nice to be at the top of the food chain!). We saw a grizzly near many glacier right after the park police popped him with a bean bag (he was slowly scurrying away) Lots of cars parked taking photos and assume someone got to close and the bear payed price. But yea lots of signs to warn everyone. Bummer about the Bear grass! Probably my favorite thing in the park!

My favorite park, have been there 5 times. A hiker's paradise.

Biking is pretty cool as well! On my 3 day loop around and through Glacier

No dangerous animal concern while hiking there?**

When we were there in 2019 black bears were everywhere.
