The Colorado State Department of Fish and Wildlife is advising hikers, hunters, fishermen,
and golfers to take extra precautions and be on the alert for bears

They also advise you to carry pepper spray in case of an encounter

possibly squirrel fur.
Grizzly bear droppings have bells in them and smell like pepper spray.
