Hi everyone! We were driving up one of our favorite roads in Waterton for bears this summer when we spotted this bear at a rest stop. He was meandering around the picnic table at first, but it didn't take long for him to find this...

Thanks for lookin'! :wavey:

Looks like a young bear trying to learn the ropes. The bear-proof container seems to be doing its job. Nice to know they work.

Great image, how long did the bear spend trying to get into the trash can?

Carl - He spent about 20 minutes trying to break in before he gave up.
