Black Bear Roams Red Rocks Entry, Shocks Concertgoers

Red Rocks Amphitheatre in Morrison is not only one of the most beautiful places in Colorado, but I believe it is one of the most beautiful places in the world. We recently learned that the famous venue is the top proposal spot in the country.

Black Bear Spotted Among Red Rocks Concert Crowd

According to Denver 7, a black bear got a little too close for comfort for a few concert attendees. The bear was first spotted along a trail and made its way onto the sidewalk where concertgoers were waiting to get into Red Rocks for a concert.

Colorado Bear Encounter Ends Without Incident

The bear did not lash out, and as you could imagine, the attendees made sure not to be in the bear's way. This all happened on June 8. Everybody, including the bear that got too close for comfort, is safe.

What to Do If You Encounter a Bear

Could you imagine the rush of adrenaline these Coloradans must have experienced? I have never encountered a bear, but I do know there are different methods for staying safe when you are approached by a bear in the wild, or weirdly enough, at Red Rocks.

According to the National Parks Service, if you are approached by a black bear, it is incredibly important to keep your distance, and if they get VERY close, then start to talk loudly or shout at it.
