Yeah, I also ran into a Grizzly on the under pass onto legacy trail into the cascade pond parking lot.
Nothing really to worry about. In the rare event of a bear encounter without other cars to shield you just follow standard bear protocol. You aren’t going to surprise a bear like you do on a trail.
Relative to cars the risk is minimal. After lots of bear encounters on trails they just don’t worry me anymore.
