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 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!
