We visited this Bear Sanctuary one day in August of 1998. You drive along a long dirt/gravel road to where there are some observation decks.
These bears really are wild and there have been attacks in the past, but generally, they seemed well-behaved. They feed them and I guess that's how they know to gather there during parts of the year. It is kind of intimidating getting from your car to the deck and back as they are just wandering around and there are a few volunteers walking around with big walking sticks to try to keep them away from the visitors.
