Black bears can be brown, blonde, cinnamon or black.
Bears will visit your campsite if you don't take the precaution of storing your food properly. When there are food storage boxes at your campsite or trailhead, please use them. Many campgrounds and backcountry areas are receiving daily and nightly visits by bears in search of improperly stored human food, garbage and toiletries. Many encounters this summer have been with bears that are becoming increasingly more agressive. They have damaged backpacks and tents, and many vehicles have ended up with dented and ripped out trunks, broken windows, and shredded upholstery.
