A
To avoid grizzlies, head toward the open meadow to your right.
💡 Explanation:
Open meadows provide visibility and are safer because grizzlies prefer cover and dense vegetation for security. You can spot bears at a distance in open terrain, while areas like avalanche chutes, streambeds, and burned areas with regrowth provide ideal bear habitat and ambush spots. The meadow allows you to see threats coming and avoid surprise encounters.
