Black bears, grizzly bears and polar bears

Visiting Canadian wilderness in October 2015.

First by hiking on my own in black bear area near Campbell River, northern Vancouver Island. Then, for a few days, I joined very experienced local guides with small boats to grizzly area in Toba Inlet (mainland BC) and enjoyed seeing killer whales and steller sea lions on the way. Third, I took the train from Winnipeg, Manitoba, to Churchill: 1,700 km in 45 hours through mainly boreal forest, before arrival in the northern tundra. In Churchill, I visited polar bear areas near barren Wapusk N.P. The only safe & possible way is by a huge 'tundrabuggy' including polar bear-proof glass. I also joined local guides to spot silver fox, cross fox and bearded seal.

Finally, after a few weeks of astonishing, quiet natural beauty, I left the wilderness and returned back to the crowds and visited Niagara Falls with the Indian Summer sun: awesome!
