It does look like a black bear and I've asked some colleagues who also agree. It's the first cinnamon phase I've seen in Denali Park, and I overlooked it at first because of the location and color, presuming it was a brown bear. Thanks for bringing that to my attention and I'll have to change the caption information. Patrick Kim,

No shoulder hump, larger oval ears, a brown muzzle, and a flat face profile all say black bear. This is a cinnamon colored black bear, not a grizzly bear.

So thanks for the memories! :) Regardless cool photo but of course I enjoy the landscape portion more than the animal. C P,
