Few miles W of Canoe Creek Village facing S towards Fraser. The year before there was a large grizzly hiding by the boulder. We initially thought it was a large bull. It ran to the tree before stopping . When it stood up one could still see its huge dagger like claws.

About a mile W of Canoe Creek- This landform always puzzles me –made by nature or“otherwise???
