I’m going to be going to Kalispell Montana this summer and want to do some riding. What precautions are people taking when riding in areas with grizzly bears? Being from Washington I don’t typically worry about bears or any wildlife but I do know grizzlys are a bit different than black bears. Also any trail recommendations around Kalispell would be great.

Bear spray. Carry it. Also loud noises around blind turns, and maybe at dusk if I've seen sign/know it is a heavy griz area.
