COLORADO DIVISION OF WILDLIFE ALERT
They advise people to wear noise-producing devices such as little bells
on their clothing to alert but not startle the bears unexpectedly. They
also advise the carrying of pepper spray in case of an encounter with a
bear.
It is also a good idea to watch for fresh signs of bear activity. People
should recognize the difference between black
bear and grizzly bear droppings. Black bear droppings are smaller and
contain berries and possibly squirrel fur.
Grizzly bear droppings have little bells in them and smell like pepper spray.
