Replying to Will I die?

MY Boyfriend and I are going on an almost 2 week road trip to colorado and utah. We plan on mainly camping, and by camping I mean back country camping. I have little experience with colorado, none with utah, and worse no backcountry camping experience. The closer the trip gets the more scared I am that I will be eaten by a bear, or a mountain lion, or both. Anyone care to share any good advice? Or am I just doomed? more info we plan on hiking Mt. Elbert, Cathedral lake, and most of the ntl parks in utah (arches, canyonlands, bryce, and zion). HELP ME!!!!
