29th May 2008 Sequoia and Kings Canyon National Parks I got up early to again make the most of the day, and was rewarded with the photo of the trip. As I rounded a switchback I saw something curved and brown moving behind the wall. I stopped and after a few minutes a bear popped its head over the wall. It then climbed over the wall and started wandering around in the road. I had never seen a wild bear before so was delighted to see a black bear (aged 1-2 years, according tot he ranger) just a few yards from me. It was not very big but I prudently backed into my car as it got closer, even though it hardly cared for my presence.
