Bear watching season is upon us in the Great Bear Rainforest. Encompassing a quarter of the world’s coastal temperate rainforest, the Great Bear Rainforest is the perfect place to soak up a whole lot of silence and drink in lush green surroundings. And, it’s the only corner of the planet where you can spot the elusive white Kermode bear, also known as the “Spirit bear.” 📷 by Clare Levy #exploreBC #exploreCanada #travelnorthernbc #CCCLives . When you are hiking, biking, and camping in BC, you are in bear habitat. Make sure you are informed, prepared, and aware at all times.
