WHY: To reduce the probability of negative human-bear encounters.
VISITOR ADVICE:
Stay safe and avoid a bear encounter by:

• Travelling in groups.
• Staying alert, constantly scanning the forest and trail ahead, and not wearing headphones/earbuds.
• Carry bear spray with you at all times on the trail, and know how to use it.
Keep children close and dogs on leash at all times.
If you encounter a bear, remember:
• Stay calm. Give the bear space. Back away slowly and talk in a calm voice.
• DO NOT drop objects, clothing or food to distract the bear.
• DO NOT RUN!
