Usually bear video footage shows the bears eating or on the move in the search for food. However, during a hike around Lake Josephine on August 21, I had the pleasure of witnessing a grizzly bear take a break from berry munching in order to enjoy a bath in the lake!

An account of this bear encounter is included in the September 26, blog entry.
