More Bear Activity and A Warning About Proper Food Storage

Here’s the most recent Bear Activity Report from the NPS. Once again please keep an eye on your food at all times and store it properly. Though bears may be the most visible (due to size) there are many other animals who would more than happily make themselves at home with your food including: ravens, Stellar’s jays, coyotes, chipmunks, marmots, deer and squirrels. Remember, keep an eye on your food and PLEASE never feed wild animals (or my brothers).

Bears continue to be active in all Valley campgrounds. There is a bear that checks the cars at Camp 4 on a nightly basis. She also seeks food in the campground.

A large bear has been obtaining food from lockers that are improperly locked in the Pines campgrounds.

A small bear was observed eating garbage in the Curry Village area.

There were 5 car break-ins in the East Valley developed areas.

Bears have been observed foraging naturally in the meadows near Crane Flat.

A bear has been observed in the White Wolf campground, attempting to obtain food.

A bear has been observed on the Mist Trail. Keep your food within arms reach at all times!

In the backcountry, most observations have been from Cloud’s rest to LYV.
