"Alaska Department of Fish and Game wildlife biologists warn that people can meet bears on trails anywhere in the Anchorage area, but the odds increase in the area of the Campbell Tract, Bicentennial Park and Hillside Park. Those parks abut Chugach State Park and the Fort Richardson Military Reservation, and together they cover a large area of wild land that extends nearly into the city's Midtown district."
