Issued: July 08, 2024

WHY: To reduce the probability of negative human-bear encounters.
VISITOR ADVICE:
Stay safe and avoid a bear encounter by:
• Hiking in a group, and making noise. • Do not leave food or garbage unattended.
• Staying alert and watching for signs such as tracks and droppings.
Keep children close and dogs on leash at all times
If you encounter a bear, remember:
• Stay calm. Give the bear space. Do not make eye contact. Back away slowly and talk in a calm voice.
• DO NOT drop objects, clothing or food to distract the bear, as this will reward the bear for its behavior.
• DO NOT RUN!
