Backstory: In the Tetons with grizzly bear researchers
By Scott Armstrong, The Christian Science Monitor
GRAND TETON NATIONAL PARK, Wyo. — It seems clear from the start this is not going to be a simple hands-in-the-pocket hike in the woods. At least not for me. As we unload our backpacks on an aluminum-gray day, an elk hunter warns us of a grizzly bear lurking in the willows up the trail. It is feeding on a carcass and, as everyone in the group knows, a grizzly dining on elk meat doesn't like uninvited guests. The bear had lunged at a hunter on horseback earlier this morning.
