Bears

I'm not minimizing any of your bear experiences but be aware that there is a big difference between black and griz(bigger, potentially more aggressive, etc.). Grizzly are confined to the Yellowstone ecosystem and further north and west in Glacier NP and surrounding area. Not in Colorado or points south or east. Also there is no "brown bear". There are only grizzly or black but both may be almost white to black and everything in between. Both can be dangerous but its that grizzly that make me really nervous. Almost all deaths by bear attack are from grizzly.
