Bear with fish. Crescent, Oregon - Grizzly Bear with Salmon

This was a funny sight we saw on our way home to Colorado from Crater Lake, OR. It's about 45 miles SW of Bend, OR on Hwy 97. [June, 11/03/2007]

[RA: Known to the locals as "Griz," this bad-attitude bear has been on the roof of Ken's Sporting Goods since the late 1980s. He's 16.5 feet tall. Bear statues are common, but we like this one's snarl. He's already snatched some poor gasping fish, yet he has the time to pause and menace cars in the parking lot....]

Grizzly Bear holding a fish. Crescent, Oregon - Grizzly Bear Statue

If you're taking the long, boring drive down U.S. Highway 97 to Crater Lake National Park and are longing for a photo op, here's your opportunity.

Atop Ken's Sporting Goods in Crescent, Oregon is a Grizzly Bear statue, the omnivore apparently wrestling with a fresh fish. Just to the left you'll also find The Woodsman County Lodge and a large statue of a bearded, plaid-clad lumberjack chopping wood with his trusty ax.

It's a great time to stretch your legs in an otherwise unremarkable stretch of highway. [Pete Wade, 09/13/2007]
