The Great Bears of Bute 🐻🏔 Our day with @homalcotours was one of the most refreshing and awe-inspiring days I’ve had in a long time. In one day, we saw 19 unique grizzly bears, several humpback whales, and endless smaller wildlife. We learned that the Homalco peoples have been living in and around the Bute Inlet region of British Columbia since at least 10,000 years ago, so it goes without saying they knew exactly what they were talking about. Some scientists using modern carbon-dating methods estimate ancient Homalco rock carvings in the Inlet to be 14,000 years old. It was an incredible privilege to learn about this area directly from the people who have been living off this land for such an unimaginable length of time. If it were possible on this trip, I would have chosen to stay up the inlet for days at a time. Can’t wait to come back for longer. @discovercampbellriver #TheRealCampbellRiver
