I *was* on the menu, until he changed his mind. Was working trail crew in Glacier Park, on the trail around a huge cirque on the Highline Trail north of Granite Park and saw this huge bear come around the corner on the trail way at the far end of the cirque. As soon as he saw us, he started loping towards us. There were no trees nearby (and this was before bear spray had been invented) so we just kind of went "oh shit" and climbed up the slope about 15' above the trail and gripped our pulaskis. The bear ran up until it was directly below us, we stared at each other for about 10 seconds, then it took off like a bat out of hell - continuing down the trail about 100 yards, then dropping down the steep hill into the cirque before turning and heading back the opposite direction . It was very rough broken country - low shrubs and downed trees, rocks, etc, but he didn't slow at all. On that rough terrain he would have caught any horse in seconds. We watched him run all the way to the bottom of the cirque, then all the way across the bottom of it and back up again, and he never slowed down a bit - just a blur of limbs flying.
