Thank you for the heads up. I’ll be backpacking up there for two nights this week. Better take my bear spray just in case. Has there been any other sightings lately?
I’ve lived up in Idyllwild for thirty years and I’ve seen a bear down by Cranston station and one where Strawberry creek crosses Hwy 74. A coupe of years ago I saw a Sow and two small/ medium sized cubs up by Black mountain road off 243. When I stopped and told the folks at the forestry service office they said I was out of my head as there are no/zero bears up here. Maybe they ought to rethink their ignorance.
I was in idlewild in 2015 and stayed at strawberry hill cabins and on the hiking path down behind the the area i found what I toy with my girl to be idlebeast track, but it turns out they must have been bear tracks, I actually took pictures that I still have, if anyone is interested I can email picture,
