After a leisurely lunch and enjoying the mountain top views, you'll descend back down the sightseeing gondola, and take a four-person open-chairlift chairlift partway up the mountain to the Grizzly Bear Refuge, the largest enclosed grizzly bear habitat in the world. At the refuge you'll meet Boo, a bear with paws the size of hubcaps, a mouth full of sharp teeth and enormous muscles moving beneath his shaggy fur, in his 20-acre habitat in the Rocky Mountain bush. You’ll hear his personal story and learn about grizzly bear behaviour from the knowledgeable guide while you watch him explore, hunt and forage just like his wild cousins. After the tour, you'll descend back down the open-air chairlift.

Eli was a great tour guide. He was very professional even dealing tactfully with other passengers who had obviously confused their pick up versus tour start times. During the tour he shared his personal knowledge as well as some historical information about the area. At each stop he always offered to take photos and answered guest questions. I would highly recommend him! Darryl Branham

This was an amazing experience to see a grizzly bear close up - Boo put on a show for us. The gondola ride and lunch in the Eagle eye restaurant was great. Our guide Bobby was very informative - i would highly recommend.
