I grew up in New Jersey and we had black bears–and I never stopped being thrilled by seeing them. Though I think you saw more on this trip than I did in a lifetime!

It is if they feel threatened/surprised they are most likley to attack (classic mum with cubs etc.) Of course the thought of bears didn’t really bother me :-)

A parks canada toving interpretations person told us all about how to act if we saw a bear, and in what order. we were careful to always be noisy and trvel as a 4

How many visitors get attacked by bears in that region? Cant imagine its many. I did hear oncce of campers further north attacked in their tent at night but think they were not sensible with storing food.
