This bear was photographed from my friend's deck in Manitou Springs (near Colorado Springs where I live) escaping from the Waldo Canyon Fire. We have bears too, just not grizzlies anymore ....



Regards,

Chuck

That is a nice mature blackie. Colorado has some big black bears, I took one last October that was 8-9 years old, 6ft 10in and weighed in between 460-500lbs in unit 62.

Great old bear, I really hope he survives the fires!
