I see them about once a month in the summer, usually black bears.
Every year or two during a trip up north I'll see a griz.

Black bears are huge pussies, make some noise and leave them an out, they'll remove themselves from your vicinity.
Grizzlies are a little more bull-headed, but generally don't want to fuck with you unless you have something (food) they want.
Carry bear spray and/or a firearm if you're in bear country, and set up camp to minimize the potential of interactions with bears.
