Day 7 and we’re officially 1 week into the trip. Oh and Happy Birthday Dad! Hope you had a great day!

So I’m not sure where to start. We came incredibly close to 3 bears and saw a moose pretty close up. The last bear came up on us on the trail and proceeded to continue to walk towards us on the path. Elliott and I continued to walk backwards down the path along with a bunch of other people and it got pretty intense to the point where if the bear had continued he would have caught up to us as there were too many of us to move fast enough. Both the ejs were prepared with our bear spray out ready to use! Luckily it wasn’t interested in us and eventually turned up the mountain. Below are a couple of videos of the experience so have your volume on. Now the hike (Jenny Lake trail) was amazing and we put in over 10 miles today. On the opposite side of the lake was a hike up to what’s called Inspiration Point (7200 elevation). The views took your breath away and had an added waterfall bonus at the bottom. Ok enough banter, now to the pictures and videos.

This moose was huge!
Black Bear – got within 30-40 feet of us
Turn on audio – forgive the poor filming I had other things occupying my attention lol
We’ll call her Black Betty – bam a lam a lam
