Plenty of big day old grizzy scat on the trails near Hosmer this afternoon. A little black bear scat too.

Black bear scat is small and has berries in it. Grizzly scat is large, has bear bells and smells of pepper spray!
Sorry, I had to.
The Grizzly scats I saw were really big, dinner plate sized and thick. There were some smaller ones that were dog poo sized which I figured have to be from a black bear. I guess they could be from small grizzlies, but I know there are black bears up there and I have been seeing the smaller ones all summer.
