We saw a bear today!! Our first bear!! It was a baby bear and caught us so off guard as we were driving to the Visitor's Center. It actually posed for a moment, however, I couldn't get the camera ready in time and the first picture is of baby bear running away.It was an exciting start, but except for a few deer, that was it for the wildlife. It was beautiful weather and the views were impressive along the Skyline Drive. There are so many places to stop and catch the view (75 places), however, after a while, the breathtaking views become repetitive, so we started to skip 60 or so!! We did a couple of hikes (.9 miles and 1.2 miles) to see some nice views. It's still not tourist season, so no crowds to fight! (If you want to see any panoramic pics that Shel put together, just double click on them - different views from different locations)
