Saw a very big bear lying in a creek right after the bridge by the pavilion. There was another bear about 20 yards from that one. As cool as it is to see a bear, it's really frightening, when it's 10 feet away, and you are going uphill. The bear never moved, but it did just look at me and my buddy. Very unnerving, knowing, if it wanted to get me, It could have had me, no problem. Did I say it was HUGE??
