I spent a lot of time in the North Cascades 88-95 hiking/fishing in the summer and hunting in the winter. I would be surprised if there were not some grizzlies their periodically then or today. Easy to get a few miles in and not see anyone for a week. LOTS of black bears though. Rare I didn't see one on a trip.

Easy to get a few miles in and not see anyone for a week. LOTS of black bears though. Rare I didn't see one on a trip. Pugs; Good evening to you sir, I hope the week has been a good one for you and this finds you well. With the admission that I had to look up where North Cascades National Park is, I'd be surprised if the Canuck grizzly bears pay any attention whatsoever to the medicine line and wander back and forth into the US whenever the urge strikes them. We used to do a fair bit of hunting, camping and kicking around just on this side of the medicine line more or less straight north of Winthrop. There is - so I'm told and given to understand - a reasonably healthy population of grizzly bears which wander from our part of the Okanagan across the Similkameen and then down into Washington in that part of the world - where they'd be more or less north of Winthrop once again. Anyway how many and how frequent I can't say. As you've mentioned, there's lots and lots of black bears in our part of the world - indeed some nice blonde and strawberry color phases in that particular range we're discussing, but no, we've not seen a grizzly there as yet. Others have however and it wouldn't be the most shocking thing for me to see one there. Anyway, just another guy's thoughts on the matter and nothing more Pugs. All the best to you folks as we head into the fall. Dwayne

run into lots of bears north of Winthrop hiking and hunting but never saw a grizzly. See the occasional moose though.

Spent the week along the US-Canada border. Saw plenty of bear sh(poop)it, but no bears OR Grizzlies. No illegal immigrant Canadian bears, either. Swarming with bear hunters, could be why.
Spoke with a Canadian hiker and he mentioned that the difference between Canadians and Americans was...Canadians carry bells...Americans carry guns in bear country.
Saw a guy packing what looked like a double long-barreled goose gun.

Bear spray is only to spray everywhere after you shoot so the antis don't sue you in civil court.
