Going to sleep
Although it seems like winter, some bears will remain active and may not den until late November. Bear activity depends on food availability and climate. Regardless of the activity, park users should not rule out the possibility of an encounter with a bear.
Bears are opportunistic feeders. Existing food sources such as grain spilled on railway tracks, or the presence of a carcass may keep them from going to their den sites. If you see ravens, do not approach, as this could indicate a carcass is in the vicinity. If you see a bear, or think there may be a carcass in the area please call the Banff Warden Office at 403.762.1470.
