As a child during our many trips to the White Mountains we would stop at Clark’s Trading Post in Lincoln to see the bears. We would not always see the show but we would look at and feed the bears as they climbed their enclosure in the bear pit next to the gift shop. The iconic site of the bears on top of their post (See above photo) is no longer available and the attraction is so expanded now as to be al but unrecognizable to us old timers but the bears are still there and the shows are still put on several times a day with modern sensibilities in mind in terms of animal care and dignity.
The best views of the show are from the upper deck where the chain link fence does not get in the way.
