My second visit with the Grizzlies in the Chilcotin Mountains coincided with an unseasonably early snowfall October 2-4th. It was quite the drive on slushy and icy roads for half of the way but the Delica pulled through. When the snowing stopped 40 cm had accumulated at Chilko River. The snowy landscape was a fantastic object for photos, especially the Aspen trees still in all their yellow fall colors. Bears were frequent and photogenic too but due to the snow we couldn't get to some of the prime photo spots and I felt quite some photo-envy watching the tourboats drift down the river ever so close to the fishing bears. Maybe next time I will bring my inflatable and stay a bit longer too.
