my family and I were in Estes Park CO last month; wanted so much to see a bear, saw none. We saw moose, elk, mule deer but no bears.

You must have missed the sign just as you enter the town at the sharp turn, ‘bear left’.
...thank you Bobby Bacala.

Be carefull what you wish for. I had the same wish for a long time. I traveled the west installing FFA radars on mountain tops for years. I have great pictures of all kinds of wildlife and have been in some hair raising situations with moose, badgers and wolves. Never saw a bear in the wild til a few years ago in Glacier National Park. My son-in-law and I went fishing and ran into a black bear just a couple yards from us. I knew I could out run my son-in-law but we were both just transfixed on staring this bear down.Fear, goose bump raising terror. Luckily it was more interested in the huckleberries than a spry old man and his short legged fishing partner.
We are in So Cal, up against the mountains, near to Pasadena. We have bears come down on (pizza Monday) before the trash trucks come. You want to see wildlife, come to Pasadena. They come swim in folks’ swimming pools here!
They are everywhere (yes a black bear problem) near, but not in, the Larkspur area where my ex-wife lives.
My daughter went out there a few years ago in a convertible and a “fresh” coconut scented air freshener hanging from the
rear-view mirror.
A bear tore the heck out of her convertible top.
The bear sightings are constant all summer long.
About two weeks ago she noticed one sniffing around her driveway and front door that had been recorded on her ‘Ring’
security camera.
She sent it to me, and it was of a decent size (no cubs or a mate in sight, it was just solo.)
