While touring Two Medicine, we decided to drive through the Two Medicine campground, which was closed for the season. After missing the bear on the road earlier, I was relieved and excited to see this family of black bears crossing in front of our car. The traveled from the water to our right up through the middle of the camp. We circled around to take a few more pictures of them. Interesting to note that the mother seemed to let the large cubs travel in front while she would wait for them to cross a road. Once they were across without trouble, she would then follow them. I got the impression this was intended to preserve the element of surprise should a predator attack her cubs.
