Cool video and experience! Probably a little close for comfort though, lol.
We just got back from 12 days at Elkwood and I can't remember the exact day (it had to have been close to the day of this video), but from a spot at the Canyon day use area we watched a bear a saunter down the dam (too far too tell if black or grizz), hang out at the water for 10 minutes, then saunter back up into the willows. Didn't see it again.
Also had a grizzly walk across hwy 40 (not far from Peter Lougheed PP turn off) on our way to Elkwood, and then another on our way back home today not far from the Highwood Meadows day use area.
Glad our encounters weren't as up close and personal as yours though!
