I do believe that the bears along the area are used with tourists presence which frequently feeds them, and that's why they normally use to stay near the road. We notice nearly no reaction when we stopped the car near the bear, other than calmly looking at us, however, always a calm situation can easily transform into a dangerous one for people that are not careful.
It's not common to be in presence of wild animals such as bears, so close, and for them to remain so calm. But in that area, it is common and frequently happening.
I love animals and nature, and it was an amazing experience overall.
Thank you for your supportive comment and for being here.
