So I've heard, my plan is to stay hidden and avoid close encounters/visual recognition (less than say 10 feet) at all costs as well as the usual precautions, not running, speaking in a firm voice and so on.

I went to scope the area yesterday with another person and we didn't see any bears, but did find tracks right on one of the main hiking trails. I'm pretty sure we were making too much noise to see anything. I'm planning on buying a blind and setting it up in an area where we saw signs of activity.
