Bears and South Boulder Running

Posted on Feb 11th, 2008 by linden : Re-Cycle Boulder linden
Usually at this time of year you dont see too much wildlife running around in Boulder apart from ground hogs and deer. Well this weekend, I had a nice surprise when I came around a bend onto to have a black bear about 50 yards down the trail. I expect the reason she/he didnt see/smell me, was as I was down wind from her/him. Needless to say, I had to stop and wait to see what the bear decided to do. It just kept ambling down the trail until it decided to go off into the brush towards a stream bed. This gave me enough time and nerve to run past and keep on my way.

South Boulder has lots of Black Bears so it is not too uncommon to see them. Check out the latest route if you decide you want to do a little 'bear hunting'.
