🐻 Bears are entering hyperphagia—a period of near-constant eating as they prepare for winter. During late summer and fall, bears become increasingly active and may consume enough food to gain three to four pounds each day.

Colorado Parks and Wildlife reminds us that bears need our help—but helping never means feeding them. Intentional feeding or unsecured attractants can create dangerous situations for people, pets and wildlife.

Follow these six Outdoor BearWise basics:

1. Stay Alert & Stay Together

Walk, hike, or cycle in groups and keep kids close.

Ditch the earbuds and make noise periodically so bears hear you coming.

2. Pack Out All Trash & Scraps

Double-bag food and pack out every scrap—including “harmless” items like apple cores.

Never burn trash or food scraps in fire rings or grills.

3. Keep Dogs Leashed

Off-leash dogs can provoke bears into defending themselves.

Keep pets strictly leashed on trails or leave them at home.

4. Camp Safely

Cook far away from your sleeping area.

NEVER store food, trash, scented toiletries, or clothes worn while cooking inside your tent.

Lock attractants in a vehicle out of sight, use approved bear-resistant containers, or hang them 10 ft high and 10 ft out from a tree trunk.

5. Know What To Do in an Encounter

Bear hasn’t seen you? Quietly move away.

Bear sees you? Back away slowly. NEVER run—it can trigger a chase response.

Bear approaches? Stand your ground, wave your arms, and yell “HEY BEAR!”

Physical contact made? Do NOT play dead—fight back aggressively!

6. Carry Bear Spray & Know How To Use It

Keep spray accessible (not stashed inside your pack) and know how to fire it.

Spray directly at an approaching bear—never spray your tent or gear like bug repellent.
