Hikers spy black bear looking for grub on the High Sierra Trail in California’s Sequoia National Park, You’re a good bear. You’ll stay right there and away from us, okay?

A pair of hikers had a bear encounter on the High Sierra Trail in California’s Sequoia National Park over the weekend. A video shared by Kari Pigott shows a black bear about eight miles into High Sierra Trail, before Bearpaw Meadow. The bear appears to be nosing around a log on the ground. He’s looking for grub, her uncle Dave says. He won’t pay any attention to us. Pigott, who says this was her first bear sighting, asks, Really? In that decaying wood, there’ll be all kinds of insects and stuff like that and he’ll eat that, he says. She asks again, really, he won’t care? Her uncle walks confidently onward along the trail and Pigott follows. The bear spots them, and the hikers pause until it saunters away through the trees. There are an estimated 30,000 to 40,000 black bears in California, according to the state’s Department of Fish and Wildlife. If you encounter a bear, the National Park Service says do not approach it. If the bear is at a distance and notices you but continues its natural behavior, the agency says it’s safe to proceed while continuing to observe the bear.
