I hear that when hiking in Grizzly country it is best to wear bells on your pack in order not to turn a corner in the trail and surprise one. Also a good idea to always carry bear spray.

Easiest way to tell a griz from a black bear is to examine their poop. Black bear poop is full of berries and smells like poop. Grizzly poop is full of little bells and smells like bear spray...Geo
