Travel Directions:
Bear Creek (King Creek) is in Peter Lougheed Provincial
Park, King Creek Day Use Area, on the east side of Hwy
40, 49.8 km south of Hwy 1 (Trans-Canada Hwy) and 0.1 km
north of the intersection of Hwy 40 and Kananaskis Lakes
Road. Follow trail along rock face approximately 200
meters; turn left to the stream.
Remarks:
This is the spot where a stunt bear held up production of
the film by repeatedly licking his lips instead of
growling. Finally, after many takes, the bear got it
right and the scene was complete. Ennis’s horse,
like its rider, proved to have a low startle point. See:

Important:
Always consult park wardens and take appropriate
precautions.
