I think the girl is the real tragedy of the story. The movie makes clear that she didn't want to be there and was afraid of the bears.

A large but scrawny old bear with bad teeth that a pilot had seen sitting on the brush and dirt pulled over the bodies was shot and killed by National Park Service rangers at the scene after it charged them.

The girl's not the tragedy. The bear is the tragedy. The man and the woman should have had sense enough not to be hanging out with bears. The bear was just doing what came natural.
