Great Glacier and Avalanche Crest trails as there is a grizzly bear frequenting
the trails and slide paths. These trails are climbers access for Avalanche,
Eagle, Uto and Sir Donald. This closure is until further notiice.

There is also a bear warning for the Asulkan Valley trails, but this still
allows hikers/climbers access to the Asulkan Hut, Youngs Peak from the Seven
Steps side, Sapphire Col, and the Asulkan Traverse.
