[pct-l] Grizzly

>>If you see a Grizzle on the PCT please get a picture of it.  I am sure
>a Forrest Ranger would love to see your picture because Grizzley's are
>suppose to be extinct in the lower 48 except for maybe in Glacier
>National Park<

>Grizzlies are somewhat more widespread than that. Their densest
>population in the lower 48 is in Glacier National Park, but they're also
>found throughout much of the western Montana/Idaho rockies, and south
>into the Wind River Range of Wyoming. Yes, their numbers in those areas
>are far fewer than the park, but they are still there. Then you have the
>debate over their existence in southern Colorado's San Juan Mountains
>(similar to the eastern cougar debate). Personally I think they're
>probably there. Finally there is the Washington presence. The latest
>I've heard is that they haven't been seen in the Cascades, but there are
>enough signs to indicate perhaps 20 south of the Canadian border. On the
>other end of the state, where the rockies poke into the far northeast
>corner, a grizzly was shot in mid-september. It was considered to be
>from a population seperate from the smaller Cascades one.
