Almost disappointed I didn't when I camped in Yosemite a few days.

Yosemite doesn’t have Grizzly bears, but I have seen black bears

Viva Campeche

Yeah, I've only seen black bears there. Didn't know they don't have grizzlies.

Only place in CA where grizzlies are found

Misread it as bear, missed the grizzly part

Are you sure? We saw a mama and 2 cubs (like 100 yards away), and the ranger there said they were grizzlies.

Yellowstone is actually a separate park than Yosemite. 😉

bluesloth

4/20/21 2:58pm

Whatever. Do you guys really expect me to carefully read what people actually say on here?

dilbert

4/20/21 3:03pm

He said Yosemite, you read it as Yellowstone. Yellowstone has grizzlies, apparently Yosemite does not.

jdub

Yellowstone has a lot of grizzly. Yosemite does not.

Bucket list item.

If you just want to see one from the car, April/May or Sept/Oct is prime time in Yellowstone

Last May between Cooke City & Cody

Revise your bucket list item to "Take selfie w/a grizzly". Return and report.

Will do. I have a friend who did this. His name is Tim. He has not called lately

Katmai National Park is far and away the best place to see bears

The airport must be close to the river/Park if you can see it from the plane.

You land on the water next to the park entrance

donnerstag

Depends. Does seeing it from your car on the side of the road constitute

4/20/21 2:51pm

Yeah, that counts. By "the wild" I mean not in a zoo or a preserve.

Bearzona?

I've seen grizzlies on 3 separate occasions.

jdub

Does in a Natl Park. count? If so in Glacier NP when I was a kid going to see Aunt & Uncle who lived in BC.

Soupie

4/20/21 2:53pm

Yep. What doesn't count is Bear World outside of Rexburg.

They arent

I just googled, and it looks like "no", but as you reasoned, there's no reason they couldn't come here.

jdub

Old Ephraim in Cache Valley is supposed to have been the last.

85fan

I don't think there are any in Utah yet. But not sure. They're coming though.

BlueTooth

There are no grizzlies in Utah.

Richard McCoy Jr.
