Waterfalls can be deceptively dangerous. And, although they appear small, streams are especially hazardous in Spring when the water is high and turbulent. Beware of thunderstorms. Got off ridges or peaks and avoid exposed lone objects such as a large rock tree or telephone line. If riding horseback, got off and away from your horse.
Color phases range from block to cinnamon.
Bears can be particularly dangerous if provoked while feeding or when a sow has young cubs present, but they are unpredictable anytime. Store food in closed cars or tie objects above ground between two trees. If in the backcountry. Do not keep food in tents. Drivers should be on the alert for animals crossing ads, especially at dawn and twilight.
