A grizzly bear mom leads her three cubs across the road

Obsidian, the grizzly bear, and her cubs in Yellowstone National Park

In mid-May there was still snow on the ground in the middle of Yellowstone National Park and I had the fortune to come across the grizzly bear known as "Obsidian" with her three 2.5-year-old cubs as they crossed the road in front of me.

In mid-May, with snow still dusting the ground in Yellowstone National Park, I encountered the legendary grizzly bear known as "Obsidian" and her three 2.5-year-old cubs foraging along the roadside. When they decided to cross, I was thankfully joined by only a handful of other cars, giving the family plenty of room. Like the protective mother she is, Obsidian looked both ways, keeping her cubs tucked safely behind her as she led them across the asphalt and back into the snowy woods.
