Was in Jasper a couple summers ago and my boy refused to hike. We were down from Alaska, and he was no stranger to seeing bears in the woods, mostly blackies, but he wanted absolutely nothing to do with the grizzlies he was smelling. I got him 2.5miles into the woods, which was work and I finally just turned us around. He offered absolutely no resistance on the way back to the truck.
