Black Bear with Two Cubs in Big Bend National Park

When hiking with my parents and brother and sister, we saw these three bears. We stayed for an hour, and yes, they were really close by, about 30 metres away from us.

You can see one of the cubs coming down the tree and the mother scratching herself. When the camera goes up, you can see a glimpse from the second cub.

We were in Big Bend National Park, TX.

If you want more information on the bears, ask.

The language we speak, by the way, is Dutch.

Aw, then you really should do that! It's beautiful there. I think it's one of the most underappreciated national parks in the US.

Looks like the Boot Canyon area. On your way to south rim maybe? I saw a mother bear and two cubs near the basin early in the morning. Also saw one on the window trail and another in Boot Canyon near our campsite. Didn't sleep well that night. Three years in a row we have seen a black bear at Big Bend. We'll be going for four in September!

Wow, that's so awesome! Good luck in September, I hope you see some again! I'm going back during christmas time (we'll be staying outside of the park, though, so I guess our chances at Black Bears are slim), and I can't wait! Big Bend deserves way more attention from the great public than it's getting at the moment, but I guess it's kind of good as well for the wildlife.

And no, it wasn't at Boot Canyon! We saw them at Cattail Falls :)

I finally went to Big Bend didn't see any bears:( but did go to Cattail Falls, I actually heard the water and was gonna ask if it was at Cattail Falls...

WOW!!!! It must of been great to see that. I have camped all over the back country in big bend and have never seen a bear. Hopefully, next time my luck will change. Thanks.

Wij hebben deze zomer 1 jonge zwarte beer in de Big Bend gezien. Vlakbij "The window". Was heel leuk!

This is really an amazing video. You were so lucky to see bears. I had heard there was a small population at Big Bend, but I've been there a couple of times and haven't seen one. Thanks for posting. You have a rare piece of video.
