This is a picture of the bear we had seen two days before our hike encounter. They have both black bear and grizzly bear in the area. Luckily I we were never close enough to be able to tell which bear it was, but they did inform us that the black bear in that area are much more aggressive than the black bear we have in MI. This picture was take from well across the river and the bear was standing up because we think it caught our scent as we were all downwind from it. Grizzlies were spotted in the Teton Mountain area less than a half a days walk (for a bear) from our camp. I decided I like MI wildlife--"killer Canada Geese" seem like a better option compared to these bears!
