Aren't any bears in the Mt Baker Wilderness.  :chuckle:

Get on the south a d west facing slopes. Find blueberries. Glass early and late (especially earlier in season). You will find bears. Don't need to be a long ways away from the trail either. I've watched literally 100+ hikers walk within 200 yards of a bear and never see it over the years.

Good luck and post pictures!

Better chance at Bigfoot than a bear around those parts ;-)
