Bear Alert:

The Colorado State Department of Fish and 
Wildlife is advising hikers, hunters, fishermen, 
and golfers to take extra precautions and be 
on the alert for bears while in the Dillon, 
Breckenridge, and Keystone area.

They advise people to wear noise-producing 
devices such as little bells on their clothing 
to alert but not startle the bears unexpectedly.

They also advise you to carry pepper spray 
in case of an encounter with a bear. It is also 
a good idea to watch for signs of bear activity.

People should be able to recognize the difference 
between black bear and grizzly bear droppings.

Black bear droppings are smaller and contain 
berries and possibly squirrel fur.

Grizzly bear droppings have bells in them and 
smell like pepper spray.
