Photograph of two bears walking across a dirt road as they approach a group of cabins that stand in the Old Faithful area of Yellowstone. The road stretches across the foreground on a slight upward angle from right to left. Two bears walk away from the camera as they approach a small group of cabins in the distance. The bear nearest to camera is right-of-center and the one walking ahead of him is at center. Three cabins stand ahead of them, nestled among pine trees. A car is parked between the rightmost cabin and the cabin at center. Additional cabins are barely visible in the distance.
