It was a part of a ten mile loop in the Great Smoky Mountains I hiked every Sunday over two years beginning at or near daybreak. I was on the Turkey Pen Ridge section ascending and heard some rustling in the brush to the left of the trail. The bear kept its rear end facing me. We both stood there not moving, then he turned to look at me and I snapped the photo. I resumed my hike at a noticeable faster pace!

Sounds like a fantastic moment. I'm a huge nature lover and can only dream of a moment like that Fantastic
