@@toughenupfluffy7294 Well I’m not the one who named the state park haha. But I’ve got another video if you wanna see some real mountains 😎

Hi Madison! I think it’s pretty normal to be nervous about venturing out into bear country, but you certainly don’t have to be so worried that it ruins the experience. Even in a place where they’re prevalent like the in Tetons, it’s still fairly rare to actually see one. A bear isn’t going to hunt you or jump out and ambush you out of nowhere or anything like that - most attacks happen if they get startled or feel threatened. Still, bear safety is important and you’ll want to be prepared. You’ll see signs and info posted all over the park reminding people to be “bear aware” with some tips on what to do and what not to do. The biggest thing is to just simply make noise while you’re out hiking (just having normal conversations as you walk is good enough) so that you don’t come up on one and startle it. And sticking to more popular trails where you’ll be surrounded by other people will help too. I’d also recommend carrying bear spray while you’re out hiking. It’s not likely that you’d have to use it, but it’d still help give you some peace of mind. I brought my own, but I’m sure there’s places in the area where you can buy some or even just rent some for the duration of your trip. And if it’d make you feel better, you can always talk to a ranger and they’ll be able to give you even more bear safety info The park is amazing, and it’s absolutely worth it to go and see it for yourself. You’re going to love it!

Thanks! And yeah I feel the same - I could probably go back, spend another whole week there, and still have a totally new & different experience

Thanks! I've heard so many great things about the Wind River range - I definitely plan to explore there someday too

Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it!

Agreed! One of the best I've ever done, no doubt
