Morning CC,
Do you know anything about the area? Just curious, as I’m looking for some inside info. on a good camping area to take some older Boy Scouts this fall. Hiking, climbing, biking type of stuff.
Cheers,
SZ
This part of Utah sees a high concentration of hikers, bikers and basically humans of all stripes including boy scouts. I prefer much more remote areas, and don’t frequent the American Fork or Mt. Timpanogos areas.
Part of the problem in these bear attacks is that they’ve become accustomed to humans. I’m sure this bear has taken up the nasty habit of scavaging on the remains of campsite garbage. It’s easy food.
This time, the bears instincts for fresh kill associated with campgrounds and food probably got the best of him. What a tragedy.
