Rawson Lake Trail and Sarrail Ridge Route in Kananaskis Country closed to protect visitors and the bear, say Parks officials.
Alberta Parks spokesperson Bridget Burgess-Ferrari said the agency received multiple reports of the injured bear Aug. 3. Conservation officers and bear technicians responded to the situation and enacted a closure.“The grizzly bear was described as being unable to bear weight on one of its front legs,” she said. “What I can say is that the closure is in place to protect both visitors to the area and the injured bear.
“If visitors get too close to the bear, it may become stressed and react aggressively. At the same time, if the injury is more serious, it is important to give the bear space so that staff can evaluate the situation and determine if additional actions are required,” she said.Article content Bears can be encountered anywhere in Kananaskis Country. To avoid a surprise encounter with a bear, Alberta Parks recommends making plenty of noise on trails, travelling in groups, being aware of surroundings, keeping pets on leash, and carrying bear spray and knowing how to use it.Two trails in the Upper Bryant Creek Valley area of Banff National Park were also closed this week to prevent potential encounters with foraging grizzlies.
