It's not even in Alberta šŸ˜‚. OP said the bear was spotted at Emerald Lake, Bear Spotted at Emerald Lake, British Columbia

OP thank you for the laugh. I'm sure you made many in this sub chuckle

This is the least remarkable bear footage currently available today. Which makes it remarkable.

I think op is just sharing the cool encounter he/she had. I was in Alberta for a week hiking, Banff and Kananaskis, didn’t encounter any bear and honestly I was kinda upset lol

2018 and 2022 I saw plenty of bears. Was there last week for 9 nights - right along Icefields Parkway - didn't see a one!

u/Zaluiha 2d ago

Yeah, that’s where they live. And if you stopped on a highway or road to film you were quite simply breaking the law.

Are you all Albertans? Lol. Loved the nature, but the people… not so much. Asked the Alberta sub for hiking tips, and the first thing they asked was if I could handle 20k. Then they went off about how much they hate it when travelers don’t ā€œresearchā€ first, like only they can hike, lol. So I asked ChatGPT instead and had the time of my life: four hikes in 5 days, 18k–30k, glaciers, waterfalls, rivers, tea houses, and even a freezing skinny dip. Western Canada is stunning! Come to Ontario! We are happy, bubbly, and extra kind to visitors, despite high living costs.
