CAMPING IN BEAR COUNTRY - How to Camp Bear Safe
Most campsites along the front range of Colorado and west of Interstate 25 are in bear country, according to resources provided by Colorado Parks and Wildlife. Below are tips from the agency for campers.
-
Stash Your Trash. Use bear-proof containers when available. If they’re full, double bag trash and lock it in your trunk or RV. Never leave trash outside.
-
Store Attractants Safely. Store food, beverages and toiletries in airtight containers and lock in your trunk. Many bears have discovered that coolers, bags and boxes are full of food; never leave them in your tent or anywhere a bear could see, smell or reach.
-
Keep a Clean Camp. Bears are attracted to odors of all kinds and will investigate anything interesting in hopes of finding food.
-
Keep a Clean Tent. Don’t bring anything with an odor into your tent, that includes all foods, beverages, scented toiletries, gum, toothpaste, sunscreen, candles, and insect repellent. Don’t sleep in the clothes you cooked in; store them with your food.
-
Lock RVs and Vehicles. Close windows and lock your vehicle and RV when you leave your campsite and at night before you go to sleep.
