Sarah, if you come all the way back from UK, I will personally shuttle you to a spot in Sequoia National Park where I have seen bears repeatedly. And these are good bears -- they graze on grass in a meadow, rather than sneak up and steal backpacks.
These are in the meadow at the entrance to the Dorst campground. They are sighted there so often that the rangers call the collection of cars and people that forms on the road a "bearjam".
This cub climbed the tree and fell asleep while momma was grazing and people were watching.
