Text Box: National Park Safety This page is devoted to national park safety.  Here are some tips for remaining safe when you encounter a bear. 1.  Do not feed bears.  They will want more! 2. Wear bells or clap hands so not to surprise a bear. 3. All food is to be kept in "bear proof" bags. 4. Hang all food with strong odors away from camp. 5. Walk on trails only! 6. Do not cook or store food in tent.  Bears will harm people while getting to food--this means you! 7. Remain calm when seeing a bear!!!!!
