Upper Pitt River has both Black and Grizzly ............ http://www.vancouversun.com/technology/Grizzlies+expanding+their+range+could+come+North+Shore/5529404/story.html :o

Just curious ... your avatar suggests you use dogs for hunting bears. Yes? No?
-
I'd have a real big dog for griz. :)
Other than that I have a "bait Pug" for smaller game. If your using the urine masking scent, Pug is probably the champ.

i use hounds to run bears and cats

There are Grizzly Bears this far south of British Columbia??? I always thought and heard they were more of a northern bear.
-
lots of blackies on the upper coquitlam river

I took this picture driving down from jones in the early summer. You tell me but I think it kinda looks like a grizzly.

Tough to tell from that pic. Most likely a black bear.
Any pics from the side to show the shoulders or a better closeup of the face to show the ears and nose?
You could try cropping the original high-res pic and enlarge it a bit and repost it.

ok here's a close up. Sorry it's terrible quality as it was taken at 5mp.

BrysonK, your bear is a black bear. Cinnamon is one of the colourations common in the Lower Mainland, in fact, most of the bears in Pemberton are cinnamon-coloured.

The grizzly is on the California state flag, range used to be all the way down to Mexico I believe. The range is smaller today, but we have grizzlies in the Lower Mainland, they're just a lot more sensitive to people than black bears and tend not to be seen much.

Yeah,long snout...blakie

Another couple of indications:
Brown bears have more of a "dish" facial profile as well as shorter, rounder ears.
