>> And, with all due respect to what Fallingwater said, I must disagree,
there
have been reports of grizzlies sighted on the PCT in the extreme north
Cascades, but no known incidents. I don't think that you would be willing
to
carry anything that could stop a grizzly. <<
There have been scattered reports of Grizzlies in remote sections of the
North Cascades. I've not seen any confirmed reports of Grizzlies on the PCT.
While it maybe possible it's not very likely. The best chance of seeing a
Grizzly on the PCT is at the animal zoo just before Big Bear.

deal with them, go to:
