Close bear encounters lead to warnings in popular parts of Kananaskis
Social Sharing Two recent encounters with bears in Kananaskis Country have led Alberta Parks to issue new warnings, bringing the total number of advisories up to eight. The encounters, both of which resulted in bear spray being used, led to warnings at Kovach Trail, effective Aug. 1 and Galatea Trail, effective Aug. 2. Alberta Parks did not confirm what species of bear was involved in either case. The incidents were among "several encounters with bears over the long weekend across Kananaskis," Neil Singh, Ministry of Forestry and Parks press secretary, said in a statement to CBC News. The Aug. 1 incident involved a bear bluff charging two hikers around the Little Kidd Lookout area at Kovach Trail. Bluff charging refers to behaviour in which a bear charges toward a perceived threat, but stops short of making contact. On Aug. 2, there was a "close bear encounter" with an unknown, brown-coloured bear, which involved four hikers with an on-leash dog, Singh said. "The Kovach instance was reported as a grizzly bear, but there are numerous, brown-coloured black bears in the Kovach area," he said. Kovach Trail is a popular hiking area located near Kananaskis Village, in the Evan-Thomas Provincial Recreation Area. Galatea Trail is located further south in Spray Valley Provincial Park. Another recently-issued bear warning is in effect at Highway 40 day-use areas from Canoe Meadows to the Barrier Boat Launch as of July 30, due to a grizzly bear with a cub seen frequenting the area to feed on vegetation. A total of eight bear warnings are in effect throughout Kananaskis Country. A grizzly bear bluff charging a hiker led to a warning at the Bill Milne Trail from Wedge Pond to Mount Allan Drive effective July 8. A warning is in place for all Peter Lougheed Provincial Park campgrounds, effective July 27, due to "multiple grizzly and black bears frequenting the campgrounds," according to Alberta Parks. An adult grizzly bear seen in the trail network behind the University of Calgary Barrier Lake Research Station led to a warning, effective July 16, issued for Lusk Creek, Stoney Creek Group Campground, and the research station. Warnings stemming from an increase in black bear sightings are in place for Canmore Nordic Centre Provincial Park and the Grassi Lakes trail system. People should be on the look out for bears and use spray if one comes within four metres, according to Alberta Parks. Its website offers detailed information on bear safety in Kananaskis Country.
