The Images You Enjoy on Our Website

The incredible bear image gracing the Inn's Great Room, our print materials and website is "Midnight Grizzly" by Todd Winters. See more of his work online at www.wintersgallery.com and nearby the Inn at The Harbinger Gallery in Arnold.

We thank outstanding local photographer Chris Hall for his copyrighted image of a lunar eclipse over the Dardanelles in our rotating sequence of images at the top of each page. Chris Hall and Arnold's Dick James' great copyrighted work also graces the EPSB website's photo section, where you can create email postcards from their images.

James C. Irwin, Ph.D., provided his copyrighted image of the whimsical bear cubs in the lower corner of our webpages. Jim and his wife Candy are the owner/operators of Riding Mountain Guest Ranch and Canadian Adventure Tours near Lake Audy, Manitoba, Canada. Visit their website. An extraordinary place for wildlife viewing, wildlife ecology, and wildlife photography tours.
 

Who Built the Black Bear Inn? 

Our guests often ask about the Inn's construction methods. We used the excellent craftspeople of Owl Ridge Timber Framing located in British Columbia. They transformed our ideas and the architect's plans into a work of art.

Our outstanding contractor was Jason Jarman of J. Jarman Construction of Angels Camp, who brought all the elements together to create a environment that our guests truly enjoy and we’re very proud of.
