If you want to take a walk on the wild side and see nature at its grandest, you’ll want to look at wildlife viewing in Bella Coola, B.C.

Lush meadows, dense forests, towering mountains and salmon-laden streams make the Bella Coola area a nature lover’s delight.

This grizzly bear cub was photographed in Bella Coola, but before you head out to the woods, you will want to become bear aware.

Here are a few tips:

Keep a safe distance and use binoculars

Don’t approach a bear under any circumstances

Pay attention to any signage warning of bear activity

If you’re camping, keep your foodstuffs away from the camp, preferably in an airtight cooler perched aloft.
