Bear awareness is always a concern in Black Bear Country (below) as well as other bear areas, a lot is similar and a few things are different. From my readings we should fight back if attacked by black bears or mountain lions. If these two attack you they see you as food and want to eat you! When it comes to Grizzly Bears however if attacked playing dead is often the best option. They often attack us to defend not to eat us. You need to read up on the information in this post and other sources and make up your own mind.
Bear dumpsters like below are good examples of reducing bear visits. If they can not get to the food they tend to move on.
On one visit there was a Black Bear just over the river so the following sign went up as a warning. Talked to a Ranger and they advised they regularly go back and forth through the river it is not very deep in spots (only 2 foot or so in areas).
