Many of the grizzlies in the Silver Salmon Creek area of Lake Clark National Park are acclimated to the presence of humans, allowing visitors to observe them at a closer range than is usually possible. Some of the mother bears were raised in the area and have grown up around humans. Of course, keeping a respectful distance and carefully observing the bears' behavior are still vitally important. My group felt a bit nervous when a curious cub approached within a few feet, but mom bear simply watched until her cub rejoined her. The cubs were born in 2017.
