lizbids, you will be lucky to see a grizzly bear. I've only seen them in the wild in British Columbia, and that was far from civilisation.

I've never seen a mountain lion in the wild, although I've seen tracks and scat, so again, I don't think you've much to worry about.

Now lunatics with chainsaws, that's a different story. Although you are more likely to run into lunatics with logging trucks, than the chainsaws... .
