Chapter 03 - Against the Rules

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.
