I imagine you carry a rifle,  but what do you do to make sure your surroundings are always clear so that an animal can't sneak up on you? Also, what kind of places do you avoid,  that may not be immediately obvious (like a cave or den or something)?

Yellowstone is perfectly safe. I suggest if you want to do a small camping trip that has nothing to do with hunting or fishing and more hiking the bottom of Phantom Canyon Colorado near Pikes Peak would be perfect. 

Just drive safe.

Edit: At the top of Phantom Canyon is a little town called Cripple Creek it's an old school gambling town. They even have a wild herd of donkeys that just travel the area including in town.
