Alpine Trail Access Closed Due to Bear Incident

Please be advised that there has been a bear incident on Montana Mountain, and there is reason to believe the bear may be injured.

• Travel in groups and make noise
• Report any further sightings to Carcross RCMP

Thank you for your attention and cooperation.
