I was up on Grouse Mountain yesterday with some friends and came the closest I have ever been to a grizzly bear. Yes, a close encounter... but fortunately not a dangerous one! The above is a photo of Grinder, a rescued grizzly bear at the Grouse Mountain Refuge for Endangered Wildlife. We were given a private tour by Devin Manky and besides seeing the two resident grizzlies, we also spent some time with Cleo, a barn owl.
