I was hiking up Hyatt Ridge Trail from Straight Fork RD to 47 on the weekend of July 10, 11, and 12. I came across a mama bear and three cubs at the peak of Hyatt Ridge before starting down to 47. She was not at all happy to see me. I did not sneak up on her as I usually whistle or clear my throat loudly periodically on the trail. She sent the cubs up a tree and had a long stalemate with me before letting me continue up the trail. So be on the lookout for this family. She is very protective.
