Are bear canisters a necessity to camp here, and if so, anywhere specific they should go? What would you recommend in terms of overnight food storage?

I’ve never seen (during dozens of rides through there) nor heard of bears in that area. I do not believe bear canisters are warranted there. I’d be more concerned with raccoons getting the food rather than bears. However, if you are truly concerned about your food you could employ the simplest solution which would be to hang your food sack in a tree. That said there are enough places along the GAP to get food, one really doesn’t need to carry much in the way of food. Others may have different experiences or opinions.
