Alberta Parks has issued a warning to hikers and campers in the that area.

If you're headed out there make plenty of noise and travel in groups, .be aware of your surroundings, keep an eye out for bears, keep pets on a leash and carry bear spray and make sure it’s easily accessible, and you know how to use it.
