Bear Lockers at Trail Heads
Posted: Thu Apr 12, 2007 5:15 pm
Hello -
We are planning a two and half week trip to Yosemite in early June. We will be completing two 3 to 5 day backpacking trips while we are there. Being from Wisconsin, we don't have to worry about protecting our food in the car from rogue cows - so we were wondering about the bear lockers at the trailheads.
Is it safe (from other park users, not bears) to leave our food in there while backpacking? Or is it best to try and plan so we don't have any food left to leave in the lockers.
Any guidance on this or anything else someone from Wisconsin should know would be appreciated. Thanks!
