    Meet your host for the 2007 Bear Hibernation Event:

     Hello Bear Fans!

    Welcome to the Bear Hibernation Event. The bear viewing season is over; however, before we lumber off on our winter journey or long nap, let's celebrate bears. Be sure to check out all of the fun and informative activities the WildCam Team has created for this event.


    This map will give you an idea of my location.

    The GRIZZLIES from McNeil River State Game Sanctuary are here to celebrate with us.
