- Report bear sightings
and problems to the nearest Ranger Station.
- Store anything
with an odor or the appearance of potential food in an allowed
bear-resistant canister or in the trunk of your vehicle. Always
keep such items covered and out of sight in your vehicle. Remember
that garbage, soap, toothpaste, sunscreen, fishing gear, ice chests,
boxes, clothing with food smells, lip balm, etc. have the odor or
the appearance of potential food.
- Minimize the
amount of these items you leave at the trailhead, or, better yet,
leave none at all.
- Keep your vehicle’s
interior clean and free of clutter to reduce the chance of a bear
mistaking contents with food.
