If I hiked in bear country often (I don’t) I would carry a Taurus Judge. Unless anyone has a better suggestion.

Really? A 410 slug will not stop a grizzly at 14,000psi. The .45 Colt this Taurus Judge can handle is standard .45 Colt loads. Better off with a Ruger Blackhawk in .45 Colt. These can be loaded to “Ruger Only” loads. These magnum loads are 30,000 psi. A true magnum load

Will my .357 Magnum be enough?

Ruger Alaskan in .454 Casull or .480 Ruger. Plenty of stopping power, and accurate, too. They were designed from the get-go with bear defense in mind.
