These can be wild too!
Bear with 4 cubs is driving the Park Rangers crazy with these crowds! Park not as full as usual but still a crowd..View attachment 193088

Is this a photo shot during the covid pandemic?
1) I thought the Nat'l parks weren't yet open. If they are open and this is recent...
2) No one is wearing a mask?
3) I hope the apparent congestion is due to compression of distance from a long lens.

Thank you all. The internet reception isn't great here so can't post as often as I would like.

Yes John these are recent and during Covid. Some folks are wearing masks but maybe 30%? I wonder if they jump out of the car quickly to see the animal and don't put it on?
I think around the grocery store I see more masks.
Park is open and campgrounds but NOT the hotels. Visitor Center just opened 10 days ago.

Yike!
And I thought our trails in our local Nat'l parks and state parks were bad!
