MANDATORY BEAR-RELATED READINGS We will be visiting Yosemite National Park and Sequoia Kings Canyon National Park, and black bears (Ursus americanus) are plentiful. Unfortunately, some bears have been acclimated to human presence and human food. Please read the following park service rules on storage of food and other odoriferous items. Proper food storage is also required in the Stanislaus National Forest. Fines are steep (and not covered by the course fee)! Respect the bears. Bear facts from Yosemite National Park (updated weekly) Bears and Food Storage (From Sequoia Kings Canyon National Park) Sierra Interagency Black Bear Group Food storage You must separate your food (and food-like items) from your non-food items so that food can be expeditiously stored in the bear lockers. Video of a problem bear (and really dumb people) in Tennessee. Yosemite bears are smarter and would have a car like this open in a quarter of the time.
