I've never encountered a live Grizzly (thankfully) but did see a stuffed one in a museum once similar to this
There's a stuffed Kodiak bear in a mall in Anchorage and (seriously) it makes this Griz look tame; taller, wider and longer claws. It's a really cool display (like this one too).

I lived in Alaska for a year back when I was a teen. I had a buddy at school who's dad was bigtime into hunting Kodiaks. I remember he'd come back down to Ketchikan from a hunting trip up north and brought back a Kodiak to have stuffed at a local taxidermist. One night a bunch of us were hanging out at their house when the taxidermist called and told my friend's dad that he had to come down and look at what he'd just found. He let us come with him and when we got there the taxidermist showed us this bear's skull which was just freaking massive. Right in the middle of the forehead there was this big bump. He took a saw and cut it out and retrieved what he estimated was a 30-06 bullet that someone had shot the bear in the head sometime in in the past. The bullet went into but not all the way through the bear's skull and the skull had healed back around the bullet. Shows you how freaking huge and just how hard to kill they are.
