Mountain national parks in Canada are home to both grizzly and black bears. You can run into a bear anywhere here, be it on a busy trail close to town or in the remote backcountry. Bears are extremely sensitive to the stress of human activity, generally preferring to avoid people. However, encounters between bears and people do occur.
Knowing how to avoid an encounter with a bear is the best way to safely enjoy the parks. In the event you do come across a bear, it is important to be familiar with bear behaviour. How we respond in an encounter with a bear depends on the type of interaction.
