Weekly Bear Sighting Archive

Reminders:
The bear sightings report provides an overview of where bears have been sighted on a weekly basis, however people need to be aware that bears can move quickly and are found throughout the park. Thus be aware:

  • If you’re hiking or biking in the mountain parks, you may encounter a bear anytime, anywhere. The more you know about bear ecology and behaviour, and how to act in the event of a bear encounter, the safer you will be.
  • The bear sightings is only posted weekly. Bears can move long distances in a very short period of time. Just because a bear has been sighted on a particular trail, doesn’t mean it will be there an hour later.
  • The bear sightings report is not a bear “tracking” report. Currently, we are not collaring bears for research purposes in Banff NP. The report will be based on bear sightings by Park staff and researchers, as well as those phoned in by the public.
  • To report a bear sighting in the park, call the Banff Warden Office (24-hours) at 403.762.1470
