p.1 #3 · p.1 #3 · Grand Teton NP this weekend, a few questions? | |
Since you are asking.
I don't know anything about the area except I'm a big believer in carrying accessible bear spray in bear country these days. Especially if alone. That means, not in a pack, but right there, within a seconds notice, on a belt. Regardless of the unlikeliness of an encounter, although they are more and more common anymore (see todays news). You might carry it ten years, or it might be 10 minutes... But, this summer I encountered 9-10 separate bears in the La Sal Mountains, and every one was a total unplanned surprise... This is for their protection too, you get bit and they get shot.. You don't want that.
Edit... This is new! Now they are even seeing bears in Arches... It's a park alert! http://www.nps.gov/arch/planyourvisit/bears.htm
