September 14th Malia and I met some friends down at Roxborough State Park to hike Fountain Valley Trail. The amount of bear poop on the trail was astonishing, I had never seen so much poop. I mean, it made sense, if I was eating 20,000 calories a day, well you know.

It wasn’t far down the trail that we ended up seeing two bears in a tree! It was a really neat experience, we were able to snap some pictures and videos and keep hiking. The bears were much more concerned about their snacks than us. This inspired our hibernation unit.

I put together 3 part Montessori Cards of the animals that hibernate in Colorado and I would love to share them with you!
