Uncle Nick Grindstaff Monument

Noah, Bradley and I hiked to the Uncle Nick Grindstaff Monument on the Appalachian Trail. We were just about to the monument when we saw a group of bears in front of us. 2 cubs and an adult ran to the left and then a cub and an adult climbed a tree to the right. The adult bear was looking towards us and then started coming down the tree pretty quickly. We backed up further and waited until the cub came down. We couldn't see them after they climbed down so we waited for a few before continuing to the monument. On the way back we saw another bear running top speed past us off to the side and ran towards the direction we were headed.....didn't see it again though.

Bear Alert!
