Tradition Lake Loop, Bus Trail & Wetlands Trail — Tuesday, Jul. 19, 2022

Just writing to share that I had a bear encounter on this route yesterday about 6pm (the exact spot marked in the attached photo). I was running, and surprised him (or her?) coming around a corner (my fault!). He stood up briefly on his hind legs and then turned and ran away. He paused and looked back about 30 feet away from me, so i just backed away slowly the way I had come. First time seeing a bear after hiking here regularly for a couple years!
