Welcome to Grizzly Gulch, a rugged mining town straight out of the American Old West—where gold was discovered, bears roam freely, and nothing ever goes quite according to plan.
Wooden buildings creak, mine carts rattle, and warning signs about grizzly bears are posted everywhere… for good reason.
🐻 Even from afar, Grizzly Gulch feels alive with chaos and excitement.
🕰️ Why We Didn’t Fully Explore Grizzly Gulch (This Time)
During our visit to Hong Kong Disneyland, we unfortunately didn’t get the chance to fully explore Grizzly Gulch.
After spending a long and memorable time in Adventureland, we realized we were already running short on time. We needed to head back to Main Street, U.S.A. to secure a good spot for the parade, so we made the decision to just pass by Grizzly Gulch instead of stopping.
📸 I only managed to snap a few photos while walking through—but even then, the energy of the place was undeniable.
I could hear people screaming with excitement from the rides, and I knew instantly they were having so much fun. It felt like one of those areas you know you’re missing out on—but sometimes, priorities matter.
✨ Next time I visit the park, I’m definitely making sure Grizzly Gulch is fully explored and experienced.
