He was on a mission that had nothing to do with you. Beautiful but grizzly creatures

Such an amazing experience, bears generally want nothing to do with us, calmness usually ends in positive experiences like this, love it

Wow, he knew where he was going. I would have been terrified.

Yea I probably should have been more terrified, but I had 10 folks behind me making noise (“Hey Bear”) and getting their bear spray ready. What’s scary is if he charged, there really isn’t anywhere to go since we were at the peak. It would just be pick a side and cross fingers.

as long as you don't act like prey and run away, or get caught with your back to it, they tend to not want the problems that come with people lol.

This is definitely true. They are actually very curious about humans, and that's usually why they run into people.

Tend is the key word. Don't anyone let bear spray give them false comfort, it's not enough

For a few minutes you were no longer at the top of the food chain. How’d feel? I’ve been there too (coastal Alaska). An encounter with a large bear is both terrifying and exciting at the same time.

They were in his house and were between him and his destination. Bear was just heading to the bath house.

Aww, he just wanted someone to pet him, that bear meant no harm 🤗

Nice natural glacier water. Can’t blame him.

During our most recent trip in July, a grizzly emerged from the woods, following two hikers. The animal was only concerned about eating. He spent a fair amount of time eating grass by the roadside. That attracted a lot of vehicles and caused a bit of a bear jam:-)

Beautiful landscape

Obvious the bear had no intentions of encountering you,just following a trail along the ridge.

Shocking that people are so cavalier about a Grissly. Obviously, they know very little about them. If this guy was hungry or hurt he could have gone right for them and nothing would have stopped him. Someone quoted a figure of deaths by bears. U can count on all of them not being counted, the deaths.

Did you get the impression that we sought out an encounter with a grizzly? We happened to be at the summit filming a short vlog about the hike and he showed up. We then had a very peaceful experience, and had a handful of folks ready with bear spray if need be. Your internet indignation is wild. Grizzly bear encounters in Montana happen, and I doubt Grizzly (Big Grizzly?) is suppressing bear attack numbers.

Pretty steady camera shooting...

I read that Grizzlies don't want human meat I guess if they have nothing else to eat then you will do

dunno when this video is from, but i saw a grizzly in that exact same place on 9/7. That part is so steep and the bear is just making cake of it

Summer is so nice. Quickly forgotten when I need snowshoes too go anywhere

Cool you guys, glad came out good , but what an awesome experience.

He a big boi!

Fortunate that he already had an agenda that he wasn't going to be deterred from, no matter how hard they tried to catch his attention...lol

Did you know that in 2021 21000 Americans were killed by gun homicides and only 4 were killed by brown bears? That is 4 too many. Allow for open carry in the national park system! Also in 2021 26000 Americans died by suicide with firearms but I couldn’t find any data on bear related suicide so it doesn’t feel fair to compare.
