Planning this loop for the August/September timeframe of 2023. Trying to sneak in after the bugs have peaked but hopefully still be able to catch a trout or two along the way. Looks to be about 34 miles starting and returning to the Green River Lakes TH parking lot. Probably a 4 night trip. I have been to GRL on several occasions dry camping in a small RV. This will be my first multi-day hike into the Winds. I have reviewed many posts and watched several videos of various trips in this area and am wondering about bear encounters. Obviously, this is both black and grizzly territory and we plan to follow the appropriate precautions, but I don't hear or see many posts about bear encounters in the Winds. Certainly being bear aware is the key and practicing proper bear and food etiquette is planned. What has been your experiences with bears in the Winds?
