We Saw a BLACK BEAR on Mount Washington + Visiting STRATHCONA Park | Vancouver Island Road Trip

[@BeyondYourDoorstep]

100% agree about the woods and mountains being paradise. I always feel so free when I'm surrounded by mountains and breathing the fresh air!

[@samuelandaudrey]

Thank you! That is so great to hear! Honestly, nothing beats that IMO.

[@NenaLavonne]

Beyond Your Doorstep yes!!!

[@peterkelly1406]

You're Dad is a blast ... I have only known a few Argentinians in Oz but they are all the same , they love life and have a great appreciation of the outdoors. They also love their wine and their meat ! Hope he lives forever Audrey ... Enjoy

[@samuelandaudrey]

Thanks Peter! We're having a blast having him join us.

[@daisysmum7336]

So glad you’re enjoying the Island. I moved to Qualicum, on the Island, a year ago from Vancouver. Best move I ever made. Tell your dad we have tons of dear here!

[@samuelandaudrey]

Thank you very much Karin! That is great to hear. We got to spend some time visiting Qualicum later on in the trip and loved it. It is so relaxing there along the coast.

Hahaha love how excited ur dad was about the bear! I would be too! I’ve been hiking all over WA state and haven’t ever seen one

[@samuelandaudrey]

Thank you! We had the most insane luck on this trip as we ended up spotting 4 bears! I can't even remember seeing 4 bears in one given year when I lived on the island. Hope you can see one soon as well from a safe and comfortable distance.

[@yolis2007]

How amazing seeing the black bear cub out in the wild.....and the lake and the birds feeding out of one's hand. This was an exceptionally beautiful video. You guys are doing an awesome job of showing us nature's beauty.

[@samuelandaudrey]

Thank you very much Yoli! The birds eating out of our hands and the black bear sighting really made our day. Anytime you go into the woods you never know what you're going to see/encounter.

Hey Sam and Audrey, such a great video of VI.. We love it. We are wondering where you stayed while in this area, Mt Washington? The first part of the video you showed very scenic mountain scenery. Appreciate your input.

[@DarcyMarieTCB]

How fun. Especially doing it with family and friends!! 😍💕 Do you guys take any safety gear incase wild animals try to attack? I'd be scared of that. Audrey.....I love your Dad. He's so cool and funny. I agree with him about the log cabin in the woods by the lake being calm and relaxing. He's so wonderful.❤️❤️

4.28 Whiskey Jacks [ Canada Jays ] come and eat right out of your hand. In the early 1980's I had a job with a local tire company, I took skidder tires up to Mt. Washington when the resort was being built, logging road up, the lifts and lodge were under construction not like it is now!

Come to Radium from Calgary by car in May to Early June you are guaranteed to see not only black bears But Grizzly bears on the side of the road, mainly as you wind down the amazing pass into Radium. We have a vacation home in Fairmont. Every year on route from Calgary for several weeks in the spring The bears are out. Momma Grizzlies with their cubs, black bears... wolves, moose, and you may Even see a cougar. ( we have ) but they are very elusive...

[@samuelandaudrey]

I suppose so

[@20alphabet]

@@samuelandaudrey At the risk of sounding racist, I realize brown bears and black bears don't get along. That's why they don't live in the same neighborhoods. And the white bears, polar bears, want nothing to do with either of them. Guess bears never got the memo.

Well, there are differences between black and brown bears. They aren't the same. I don't think that it's necessary to be quite so rude.
