What's Wild

What's really wild these days in the USA?
Recently we were up in Glacier National Park. For sure it's stunning. We saw bears and glaciers and big horn sheep and mountains galore. It was wild but undoubtably a dampened down wilderness.
Every hike we were on was like a parade of hikers. Barely a minute passed when we were not in view of another party of hikers.
Seemed that last time I was there (1994) it was a lot wilder. Yet back then I never saw a single bear. This time I saw four. Is the park becoming overrun? It felt like a glorified safari park.
Still, it was a great trip. No doubt about it.
