RECREATING IN BEAR COUNTRY While a bear sighting is not always guaranteed you should be prepared in case of an encounter. The Crown of the Continent region is ideal bear habitat and supports a healthy population of both black and grizzly bears. Always carry bear spray with you, never feed wildlife, know your bears, keep a safe distance, and properly store attractants.
