🐻 Bear Alert at The Glade Escape! 🏔️
Our latest visitors weren't exactly checking in. 😳🐻
Bears like to stop by The Glade Escape and make the rounds through the parking area, testing door handles to see if anyone had left a snack inside. Thankfully, no damage was done, but it's a great reminder that when you're staying in bear country, bears are smarter (and more curious) than you might think!
✅ Keep vehicles locked
✅ Never leave food, coolers, or scented items in your car
✅ Follow all wildlife safety guidelines
Seeing wildlife is part of what makes the mountains so special, but we want to keep both our guests and the bears safe.
