A couple photos that Instagram glitched from my last post: Sunset from the Bear River campground, and Hwy 37A somewhere between Meziadin Junction and Stewart, BC, one of the prettiest stretches of road I’ve ever seen. (And I’ve seen a few!)

Make sure you pack blankets & warm clothes in your vehicle before you head out on your trip; water & snacks too. #BCHwy37#DeaseLake#BCHwy16#BurnsLake#BCHwy37A#StewartBC

Making sure your car or truck is fueled above the halfway point is one way to stay prepared. If you need to evacuate, are stuck in traffic due to an emergency or encounter a hazard, it's important to have fuel.

Our roads area manager in #StewartBC came across this momma bear with cubs on #BCHwy37A yesterday.
Hopefully they're on the way to their den to hibernate!
A reminder to watch for all kinds of wildlife this winter. Via @TranBC_BVLDS#WildlifeWednesday
Traveling #BCHwy37 or #BCHwy37A to #DeaseLakeBC or #StewartBC? You will encounter compact snow & we've noticed trucks spun out on the steeper hills recently. Here's some resources & a demo on Chaining Up: https://t.co/pr0e9VU9qj #ShiftIntoWinter
Winter has arrived in BC's northwest.
@DawsonRoadMaint (Service Area 25) was busy today taking care of business on #BCHwy37A; meanwhile, our avalanche technicians are getting ready for another season of snow control via helicopter in the Ningunsaw area. #ShiftIntoWinter
Predators such as bears, wolves and cougars have complex interspecific interactions. In this video, a grazing black bear is relatively unperturbed as it eats the grass. The lone wolf keeps testing it and the bear reacts impatiently.

In this #WildWednesday we see how a den is visited throughout the season and then prepared for the winter.
Many animals will pass by the den, including humans, and not even realize there are bears snoozing nearby. If you spot a den, give it a wide berth.
