The first grizzly bear attack of the season was on Friday May 29, 2021 in Yellowstone National Park.
While visiting the park, it is important to remember that we are visiting their home. Giving animals respect and distance is mandatory. The park provides materials and signage that inform visitors of bear and wildlife safety. Please pay attention!
Another great way to stay safe in Yellowstone is to travel with a guide. They will help you stay a respectful distance away from wildlife. Yellowstone Scenic Tours provides scopes and binoculars to use throughout the day.
Tips while in bear country:
Keep at least 100 yards away from bears at all time
Never feed bears
Carry bear spray
Hike in groups of 3 or more
Make noise! Especially when coming around a blind corner in the trail.
