I don't remember hearing of a bear attack in 2014 but there are definitely grizz there.

I would be more worried about hiking to Rawson or Headwall or chester.
Tombstone has a lot of grizzly in there, Chester, and headwall have a bunch of grizz, been chased off Chester before by a big ol boar, haven't been able to go a number of times too because it was closed, never seen a bear or sign of bear around rawson and I've been there quite a few times (still bring spray). Picklejar is the one where there was a bear attack in 2014, sept 6 to be exact, killed a good friend of mine, it's still alive and well unless it died of natural causes. Went out bird hunting last year close by and saw really fresh bear sign.
