Here are a few tips you should know to stay safe while hiking in grizzly bear country. This video offers very useful knowledge on the best ways to avoid conflicts with grizzly bears, and how to deal with a grizzly if you do come into conflict with one (including how use bear spray).
Some of the best ways to avoid grizzly bear conflicts all together is to hike in groups of two or more and to make loud noises as you hike, so as to let any bears in the area know that you are there.
In the most-likely experience you'll have with a grizzly the bear will see you and run away. If the bear doesn't run away but expresses interest in you, it may charge you, but a lot of charges are bluff charges (the bear is just trying to scare you away). Find out more about when and how to use bear spray in the video.
