I was on a bike and the moose didn’t take kindly to my stopping to observe. Needless to say I gave out a loud yell and pedaled really fast.

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

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. 😉

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

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

Yellowstone has a lot of grizzly. Yosemite does not.

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

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

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.

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

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

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.

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

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