Bear Activity Summary: Bears are being seen daily in Yosemite Valley. Bears have been entering the campgrounds on a nightly basis. Over Veterans Day weekend, bears obtained food garbage on three separate occasions from campsites. Due to the large mast of acorns this fall along with a lack of precipitation, bears are expected to be active well into December (if not later).
Red Bear, Dead Bear: So far this year, 16 bears have been hit by vehicles along park roads. Please help protect wildlife by obeying speed limits and being prepared to stop for animals on roads.


Fascinating Bear Fact: On average, adult female bear home ranges are between 2.5-10 square miles, whereas males are typically 10-60 square miles. However, bears collared in Yosemite have been known to travel over a hundred miles away!
