While I've not seen the bears on the Tevis trail, Grizzles in CA became 
extinct by the early 20th century.  They lived right around here where I 
live, on the coast 60 miles S of San Francisco.  There are two notable 
stories of locals who were 1) killed (in 1875) and 2) maimed for life (in 
1865) by the California Grizzly.  I just hope someone doesn't come up with 
the hare-brained idea of re-introducing Grizzlies to  the local state park 
where they roamed when the man was killed.  A more stupid idea I could not 
think of, considering the park is a haven for hikers, horseback riders and 
bicyclists.
