Almost all human interaction with bears is of a defensive nature in which the bear will make a lot of noise and really just wants you out of his space. It is generally best to play dead in this situation – regardless of Grizzly or Black Bear. Predatory attacks are quick different and most common with Black Bears and Cougars. You must fight back and defend yourself. It is recommended that hikers travel in groups and carry Bear Spray. More information on Bear encounters is available here from the Center for Wildlife Information<\/a>.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_tab][vc_tab title=”Trails” tab_id=”1407943649252-3-1″][vc_column_text]The TRGG trail system offers over 50 self-guided hikes to various geosites.
