We went over to the glacier today, and were able to see the black bear sow and cubs. She ran down the stream, caught a sockeye, and then she and the two baby cubs ate it. She then caught another, and went under some trees. One cub is very black, the other more brown color.

Not too many people on the lake anymore, since the temps have been above freezing. The snow is slowly melting. Took this picture of Mendenhall Glacier last weekend.
