Grizzly Gulch at the San Francisco zoo opened today (June 14th). Grizzly Gulch is home to Kachina & Kiona, two rescued Grizzly Bear cubs who narrowly avoided being euthanized in Montana.

During lunch today I decided to take a peek at Kachina & Kiona’s new home. The one acre exhibit is quite nice with a pond, waterfall and meadow for the bears to explore. The exhibit is extremely secure to the point that viewing the bears is really only feasible from one of a few lookouts or viewing areas. This weekend should be quite busy at the zoo with Kachina and Kiona the star attraction. If you’re in the neighborhood definitely check it. The exhibit is really nice and the viewing areas provide very unique opportunities to see the bears up close.
