Too Close For Comfort - Our Bear Encounter on the Icefields Parkway Drive from Banff to Jasper

Sometimes it's a bad idea to listen to a backseat driver. "Roll down your window, so you can get a better picture," my husband said when we saw a bear in the middle of the road on the Icefields Parkway. Watch our video to see what happened.

He's used to visiting the highway and being fed through open windows. He thought that you were going to throw him something

[@alan4sure]

And that's highly illegal.

@@alan4sure Back in the day it was okay to feed the bears at Yellowstone National Park and the people, grizzly, and black bears would all hang out close together in big groups and have a big picnic.

@@FuckPedophileBiden used to do similar in Banff park. Watch grizzlies at the Lake Louise dump, back about 1970

Wow… those mountains in the background looks amazing… we don’t get to see that often here in NY.

Some idiot has been feeding that bear out the car window.

[@josephshields2922]
