Bear focused vacation
A friend and I (both women in our 40s) are looking to own a trip where we could see bears. We live in the US east coast and really want to see bears in the wild. We are flexible on time of year any in location. Ideally we would be in the Continental US but we do have passports and open to something else. Our ideal scenario is fly somewhere and have a good bear location within 2 hours of the airport. We are would prefer hotel or Airbnb over camping. No set budget but not hoping to not crazy break the bank. When and where should we go?
