Watch Out For Utah Bears

Federal land managers say no more overnight camping near eastern Utah's Book Cliffs after a black bear broke into two unoccupied camping trailers, rummaged through cupboards and chewed on cans. The bear removed a skylight on one of the trailers to enter through the top.

Bears have a keen sense of smell, and they will eat the same kinds of foods that people do.  Wildlife officials say daytime visitors to the PR Springs and Willow Canyon areas should be cautious until the aggressive bear is captured.
