Among those were a set from a mid-September trip into Denali National Park in 2007. I&#8217;d practically forgotten about most of the images. But I&#8217;m glad I found them, because hidden in those files was this set of photos.<\/p>\n<p>It was the first snowfall of the year, and the high passes were covered in about 8 inches of fresh, fluffy new snow. We found this bear, on Highway Pass, I think (it&#8217;s been a while), and watched him for about 20 minutes as he found, and proceeded to dig out and eat an Arctic Ground Squirrel that had been settling in for a short-lived hibernation.<\/p>\n<p>Here is the story in eight images:<\/p>\n<p><a
