Welcome to the Great Bear Rainforest, a vast expanse of temperate rainforest along the western coast of Canada. This is one of the last remaining wilderness areas in the world, home to a rich array of wildlife and we're going on a one week photo tour to see one of the most magnificent creatures in North America - the Grizzly bear.

Our journey takes us to the Bella Coola Valley and Tweedsmuir Provincial Park, where the rivers teem with salmon during the late summer months. It's a prime feeding ground for Grizzlies, and we're going to be witnessing this incredible spectacle up close.

The sight of a Grizzly Bear is awe-inspiring. These powerful creatures, with their shaggy fur and sharp claws, are fully focused on catching as many fish as possible.

We watch as they fish for salmon. It's amazing to see how agile and adept they are, even in the rushing water.

The atmosphere is electric, and we can hear the bears' heavy breathing and the sounds of the river rushing past us. It's truly a once-in-a-lifetime experience, and we feel incredibly privileged to be here.

As the day draws to a close, you will be feeling exhilarated and grateful for this unforgettable photo tour. The Great Bear Rainforest has once again proven to be a treasure trove of natural wonders, and we feel honored to have witnessed it in all its glory.
