Beware of bear activities!!!

Arrived Rainy Pass at around 11am on Thursday, there's a long line of vehicles parked on Hwy 20 for Heather Maple Pass Loop.  Cutthroat Pass TH was full too but plenty of spots along the dirt road.

Around three miles up the trail, we saw a large black bear running across the trail and down the hillside.  We alerted everyone of the sighting.

Trail is in excellent shape though a bit dusty.  Stream crossings are non issue this time of year.
