Having said that, one of your best sources of information is a ranger at a local park you intend on going to. - if there is a habituated bear problem locally or other issues they will give you the best advice for the local environment. while basic bear safety is the same everywhere, some bears are not the same, for example, the perennially habituated bears in yosemite are very different from black bears most anywhere else.
