A buddy and I did a 37 hour straight car ride, 5 day hike, and 37 hour car ride back a couple of years ago. I met fear when we were camping alone one night, in September of a poor vegetation year, and we could see a bear roaming down the hillside for food - from our tent! The valley we were in was the bear hotspot for the entire park at the time. We even had a ranger hike in during the same day just to put signs on the trees warning of black and grizzly bears in the area. Despite being scared out of my mind every time I heard something move, I'd go back there in a heartbeat.

By the way, longtime lurker, love the website.
