Close encounter in Sequoia National Park.

Great pics and good story. Generally no cubs no problem. I definitely wouldn't want to get much closer. I have had numerous close in encounters with Black Bears in northern Minnesota over the years. As long as you don't have food on your person they really have no interest in people. Not to minimize the fact they are dangerous animals it is just that generally their only interest is food and otherwise they are typically only aggressive if they have cubs.
