Bear Country USA Scrapbook Page

Our very last stop in South Dakota was to drive through Bear Country USA in Rapid City on our way toward the interstate. It was something we had planned to do, as we had driven past it last year but didn't have time to stop, so it was on the list for things to see this year. Unfortunately Mother Nature had her own plans for the last day of our vacation, and we ended up cutting the day short and heading home due to poor weather. But we swung through Bear Country first.

As we entered the park, we began the drive-thru portion and saw elk, wolves, mountain goats, and big horn sheep. As we continued further, we entered the bear section and couldn't believe how many bears there were. Since we arrived pretty early in the morning, it was feeding time! We watched the truck toss out the food to the bears and were able to watch them eat. All of the bears were clustered really close to the road since that is there the food was. After the drive, there is another section of the park where you can walk through and see other animals.

I created 2 layouts for Bear Country and wanted to include photos of as many animals as I could, but also include the map of the park. I ended up doing a collage of the small animal photos to fit in as many as I could. I also created one bear page since we spent the majority of our time there looking at the bears. 

This is the final scrapbook layout from our South Dakota trip. Please click here to see the complete album. Thanks for looking!
