ALERT: BEAR ACTIVITY in the #LeadvilleRD. A bear has been reported to be raiding campgrounds and dispersed sites in the Twin Lakes area. Make sure there’s nothing to attract bears to your camp. Store all attractants (food, coolers, trash, pet food, toiletries) in a bear resistant manner. Do not leave attractants in tents or unattended, store it in a bear-resistant manner when not in use. Colorado Parks and Wildlife recommends locking all attractants and coolers in a hard-bodied enclosed vehicle with the windows up and the doors locked.
