Our local TV partner, KUTV reported on this story about how a Utah family came face to face with a black bear while hiking! If you missed it, check out the video below! This reminds me of viralhog.com's run-in with a cougar in October of 2020, which I've also included below. If you're out and about this holiday weekend, especially on the hiking trails, always be aware of your surroundings. If you spot an animal, hopefully, it is from far away and you can keep your distance. Vancouverisawesome.com explains what to do IF you surprise an animal or it is near you. Enjoy our beaUTAHful state, but be safe out there!
