I have done a ton of hiking and working in grizzly territory without incident. Simple things like bear bangers and bear spray are pretty effective. (I can't actually speak for bear spray as I have never used it near a bear but the bangers are very effective at running off grizzly bears)
There are bear incidents but I am sure it is less likely than a car accident.
That said, for hiking I think remote is better and recommend Rock Lake as a wonderful staging ground if you want solitude within a half days hike. There will be grizzlies there though and a few sheep hunters on horse back if you catch sheep season.
