Bear at High Bridge Flow Trail

[iLuveketchup]

Not sure where to post this or if it's already known...

I was just sessioning the flow trails, and on the way up a bear ran across the path, jump on a tree. I probably scared the bear. It looked full grown.

I am still here at the entrance. Should I put up the chain and temp close sign?

i am NOT the expert or one in charge here... but might be a good idea? can you attach a note that says "bear sighted @ time/date" ?

a lot of kids ride over there.

I notified the police dept and warned a few folks already. I'll see if I can make a sign.

 

[iLuveketchup]

I left a warning sign with date and time.

There’s bears around here all the time. Especially this time of year.

Def no reason to close the trails. A sign at the entrance notifying the public of possible hazards would be the only solution.

Just ride faster than the bear.

Just ride faster than the bear.

or at least faster than your friends.

Just ride faster than the bear.

In general, how fast can a bear ride the flow? 😁

In general, how fast can a bear ride flow? 😁

Order 30 mph.

Order 30 mph.

That’s impressive. We’re all toast!

 

[MadisonDan]

Order 30 mph.

But can they clear all the doubles?

If you are really worried about bears they might as well close every park north of 78

Bears can't read, sadly...

thanks for leaving a note to warn people...

yes... bears are a common thing in the woods but i know i want to be alerted to one when they're in the area. i think the rest of these peeps would toss an IPA at me and let me figure it out on my own.

Next time you ride Stephens, there will be a bear or bears there.
You may not see them but they are there. 😊

And every time I see one, I think every stump I see for the rest of the ride is a bear! The scariest thing is how they just disappear. Makes you think they are everywhere!
