With the amount of large wildlife we came across in Alaska and Yukon territory, you definitely will want to be aware of your surroundings if you plan on camping. We came across a few male grizzlies foraging and several female grizzly and black bears with cubs along the Alcan Highway. I remember seeing several grizzlies around Kluane Lake.
We did an 11 day hike outside of Denali last summer and took precautions with our camp sites and food storage. We used Opsaks and BV500s, along with not sleeping with our food. No problems and saw a fair amount of the wildlife, including a large grizzly female with 3 cubs.
