Thanks for the laugh, @lioness!
When I am lucky enough to see a black bear on any hike, I've been lucky that it was far enough away, and headed in the opposite direction. I have attempted several photos, and unless I enlarge them, it just looks like a black blur in a thicket.
My husband and I did see a grizzly along the side of a trail in Glacier National Park some years ago. He was eating berries, and we got out of there quickly. I can't believe how many people asked us if we got a picture!
