Mt Carrie, Cat Peak, Cat Lake,  Olympic National Park,  Sep 21, 2009 - Sep 25, 2009     page 4 / 80

Continuing along the ridge I stopped to take a photo of the Bailey Range. While doing so, I heard a sound from below. I looked down to see a bear approaching the pond I was standing near. The bear walked up to the pond, put a couple feet in and slowly moved into the water, sitting down for a minute. He had water up to his shoulders. Apparently, the water felt good, for it was a little warm outside.
