⚠️TRAIL ALERT: A portion of the Continental Divide Trail in Yellowstone National Park (CDT miles 2033-2039) is closed until further notice following a bear encounter on May 4 in which two hikers were injured.

The Summit Lake Trail, which carries the CDT through this section, is closed within the affected area.

No reroute is available at this time; hikers in the area should plan to avoid the closure entirely until the National Park Service lifts it.

A few reminders for traveling through bear country:

• carry bear spray and know how to use it,
• hike in groups of three or more,
• make noise on the trail,
• stay 100 yards from bears at all times,
• avoid hiking at dawn, dusk, or at night when grizzlies are most active.
