A female black bear enjoys some grass for her morn

A female black bear enjoys some grass for her morning snack. Black Bears can be black, brown, cinnamon, blond, blue-gray, or white. If you see a brown-coloured bear like this and aren't sure if it's a Black Bear or a Grizzly Bear or Brown Bear, check for a distinct hump on the back near the neck. If there is no hump, you have a Black Bear.

While looking for little black bears, we stopped by the gorgeous Alexander Falls in Whistler, BC. Once only accessible by a forest service road, the waterfall is now easily accessed from a convenient parking lot. The spring is the best time to see the waterfall since the snow is melting in the mountain and making its way down.
