  • Maintain a distance of at least 100 yards from bears and wolves, and 25 yards from all other wildlife.
  • Carry bear spray and know how to use it, especially when hiking in the backcountry or Hayden Valley.
  • High altitude and thermal areas require staying hydrated and remaining on designated boardwalks at all times.
