ANAHEIM, Calif. – Grizzly Peak places Disney California Adventure Park guests into rugged Gold Rush country. The rocky mountain summit resembles a grizzly bear roaring into the sky, whose history is a combination of legend and Disney imagination. The tale goes like this: A long, long time ago, a coyote met a grizzly bear at the top of the mountain and asked the bear to protect the land. One day, people came to the mountain to chase the grizzly bear down, but the bear held his ground. The coyote turned the grizzly bear into stone so that the bear could never be driven away. Today, some observant mountaineers claim they can hear the bear’s spirit.
