JACKSON, Wyo. (AP) — Grizzly bears wandering out in the open in Grand Teton National Park are drawing crowds of wildlife watchers, photographers and others seeking a glimpse — from a safe distance.

National Park Service Bear Management Specialist Kate Wilmot says a number of grizzly bears have been visible in the northern reaches of the park in northwest Wyoming.

Wilmot says the bears have been active since about April 17.

One grizzly known by the research number 610 and her two 1-year-old cubs have attracted a number of onlookers.

Jackson wildlife photographer Tom Mangelsen says he's seen about a half dozen adult grizzlies.
