“I’m just kidding.” He admitted with a playful tightening of his arm around her middle. Owen didn’t know if Julianna could tell, but he guided the horse as they made a subtle ascent. The trail wound back and forth around a very mild summit that they often took tourists on to get a panoramic view of the forest, river, and the ranch.
“You saw a bear?” He said managing to sound genuinely surprised. He made this gentle exclamation over the top of her continuing story. “And you petted it?” He again kept speaking over her on the tail end of each revelation. “And you played in the river with it? And it licked you?”
Owen’s laugh was booming from behind her. Loud enough to seem to fill the large space of the thinning forest around them as the terrain below turned more rocky when they neared the end of the trail.
“You have quite the imagination. Are you positive it wasn’t one of our herd dogs? We have some pretty big ones. They probably don’t have big dogs like ours in the Big Apple, eh? They’re dogs, honey, not bears.” His tone was clearly joking as he feigned this condescending correction to her experience.
The trees suddenly fell away from them and Owen pull the horse to a full stop. He swung his leg back over the saddle and dismounted before reaching his hands up to catch Julianna when she descended as well. Several trees around had tie rings screwed into the bark and Owen chose one to tie off his horse so that they could continue the last few hundred yards to the look out. A brown sign with white etched letters read Loften River Panorama.
“We do have bears here. Black bears and also grizzlies.” He admitted as they walked. He led her between giant boulders and a view opened up beneath them. A red sun set behind the ranch home far in the distance. The sparkling river was directly below below them and cut through the forest that extended for miles in every direction only broken up by the peaks of mountains. “Typically a bear won’t sneak up on you. You’ll hear them come crashing through the underbrush. Grizzlies are much more aggressive than black bears which are fairly docile. Grizzlies aren’t bloodthirsty but a new mama will rip you to shreds if she thinks you’re a threat to her cubs.” He rambled on about this basic well-known facts about bears while he let Julianna take in the view.
