Lets put things is perspective: 7 people killed by Bears in the park over the last 100 years. Just in 2019 so far, Traffic deaths in Wyoming 102, Idaho 49 and Montana 142. However you drive into the park, which has to be through one or two of these states you are far safer after you leave your car for the safety of wilderness areas of the park.

Yes you need to be respectful of Grizzly Bears, learn and practice Bear Safety and Awareness if you travel anywhere in Bear Country and yes Bear spray works, but 1 person killed every 14 years is not an epidemic of Bear Attacks. Just means we have to be bear aware as we travel and learn to understand and respect them.
