This Bed Is Just Right - a photo on Flickriver

            About a quarter mile southeast of the East Entrance Rd this grizzly tucked in for a mid-day nap.  

It was early summer as I was driving into Yellowstone from my room at Pahaska Tepee when I came across dozens of people pulled alongside of the road looking off into the distance.  If you know Yellowstone, you understand that bison don't garner that sort of attention (and they're typically on the road themselves), so I stopped to see what everyone was looking at.  Someone told me there was a grizzly on the far ridge line, but I couldn't see it with my bare eyes.  Fortunately, the 400mm lens brought it into focus for me.  The best part was being able to share this view with families young and old who did not have equipment adequate to the task.  I don't know how long the grizzly napped before I got there, but within about 15 minutes, it awoke and headed out of sight to forage for more sustenance.
