    I was there in 1976 with my family. We drove our motorhome through Bear Country U.S.A.. They did not allow motorhomes with spare tires on the back to go in. The reason is that the bears could rip the spare tires off. Fortunately, our tire was mounted underneath so we could go in. We had a bear that was pacing back in forth in front of us when we were there. It was a fun place to go to.

I'm curious if they are all rescues................It's obvious they are accustomed to vehicles going by, but I would think if a person got out of their car, they would not fare well at all. I think I'm going to do some research on the park. Thank you for showing this.

    Very cool video. Used to see the bears at a trash dump near a camping area. In the 1960's you could feed them marshmallows until too many people got hurt from taking selfies, or putting marshmallow to close to their faces.
