Last night we were driving between Dorrington and the 5000′ marker of Highway 4 on our way to Arnold. Suddenly about 50 yards in front of us, a mother bear lumbered across the highway followed by 4 little cubs. All were black EXCEPT the last cub was light brown..must be the “black sheep” of the family.
So be aware if you are driving in this area…luckily, there were no other cars coming and we were able to stop in time….too bad we didn’t get a photo.
