Video: Camera Trapping in the Great Bear Rainforest

They call it the Great Bear Rainforest for a reason: it’s a great place to see bears!

We visited Nimmo Bay Wilderness Resort on the coast of British Columbia in Canada with the hopes of seeing all the wildlife that the Great Bear had to offer. Yet some elusive creatures just don’t want to be seen. So we paddled up the bay, hiked into the woods, and set up our trail camera next to a prime salmon stream. Five days later, we retrieved it. Check out the great surprises we found in our new video.

The trail camera we used was the Bushnell NatureView Cam .
