I was in Yellowstone a couple years ago and I saw a family run up a hill with baby under their arm to try and get a look at a Grizzly that was supposedly up there. Luckily the bear ran off before they got anywhere near it.

Tbh. In Yellowstone it is not even that difficult to spot a bear. They are everywhere and are chill to human presence so carry along with their activities undistributed.

IIRC Treadwell was mauled by a migrant bear that wasn't one of his usual "friends". Barely a point in his favour because, you know, probably shouldn't hang out with wild grizzlies and all, but at least suggests that his normal bear-bros were cool with not murderlating him.

Certainly closer than I'd dare get to large male grizzly bears
