Hi All,
This message explains the present situation in the Illecillewaet/Asulkan valleys including Sir Donald, and the reasoning behind the bear restrictions in place. Please take this into account when planning a trip into the area and note that there are no restrictions in place for the Hermit Basin including Mt Tupper, the Swiss Peak Traverse, and Mt Rogers. Thank you for your understanding. Visitor Safety Glacier National Park
Group of 4 Restriction in the Illecillewaet and Asulkan Valleys – July 23, 2015 Two (2) curious sub-adult grizzly
bears, their mother and another sow with young cubs have been repeatedly
observed in the Illecillewaet and Asulkan valleys trail system. The two
sub-adults have spent the past 3 years in the area with their mother, frequently
exposed to visitors using the trail system and have become very tolerant
and inquisitive of people. They exclusively forage on what the wilderness
provides, and are neither threatened by humans, nor do they demonstrate
aggressive behaviour towards them.
If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to ask myself or any of the Resource Conservation Human Wildlife Conflict Team. Thanks for you attention Glacier National Park _______________________________________________ These observations and opinions are those of the person who submitted them.
