Camped on the ridge vs the valley floor in Glacier last month

I had to pick between camping exposed on a ridge with killer views or down in a valley with more shelter from the wind. I went with the valley and woke up to a bear sniffing my tent at 4am, barely got any sleep. Would you trade comfort for safety or just deal with the wind on the ridge?

Oh man, that's brutal, can't blame you for wanting shelter though lol.

True @gracethomas, but getting burned usually means someone's watching the pot.
