CALGARY – An injured grizzly bear with a “history of breaking into vehicles, trailers and camps” spurred a bear warning in Kananaskis County Tuesday night.
Alberta Parks said the warning is in place for part of the Elbow Sheep Wildland Provincial Park, between the Evan-Thomas Day Use area and Little Elbow Campground. The affected area includes Evan-Thomas Fireroad, the closed Mount Romulus Backcountry Campground, the Evan Thomas Pass Horse Camp, and part of Little Elbow Trail.
Alberta Parks said the 2015 season has been an “exceptionally poor food year for bears” because of limited berry crops.
“This bear may be desperate to find food,” said the advisory.
The Mount Kidd RV Park and surrounding area has also been closed since Oct. 8 due to a grizzly bear, which is being tested to see if it’s the same animal. Alberta Parks said the Mount Kidd-area bear has caused property damage after frequenting the residential area and campsites.
A closure is in place for the portion of Mount Kidd RV Park (Sites A 12,13,14,15) and the section of the power line between the Camper Centre and entrance road to Loop A and B.
