Bears in Cars and Backyards | Colorado Springs News

Bears are on the move—and they’re getting bolder. In Garfield County, a young bear broke into a car for snacks, leaving a mess officials are warning everyone about. With bear sightings nearly doubling statewide this year due to drought and wildfires, wildlife experts say bears are venturing closer to homes in search of food. To keep things safe for both people and bears, authorities urge locking vehicles, securing trash, and never feeding them. Colorado Parks and Wildlife is working with communities to prevent conflicts and help bears survive without becoming neighborhood nuisances—your simple actions can make all the difference.
