The weekly summer newspaper and activity guide serving the International Peace Park Region August 14,1996 Volume 5, Issue No. 14 A spread you don't want for breakfast WATERTON - You can't eat it, but you can sure get stuck in it, a bear jam, that is. And Waterton Lakes National Park has been seeing a few jams over the last week. What happens, according to warden Mary Coleman, is that a bear, sometimes on its own, sometimes with her cubs, makes its way to a roadside in the park and hangs out there. If it's during daylight hours, tourists driving by stop to take a look or take a picture. Before long, there are several vehicles lined up trying to get a better look, and soon traffic comes to a halt. Coleman indicates that the Red Rock Road saw the most jams this past week, but while being interviewed she was viewing another black bear and her two cubs on the main roadside leading to the Prince of Wales hill. That family was observed often in the area last week, also. "There's been 15 different bears on the road to Red Rock, and four single bears in the Crandell Lake campground," she says. It may be that the ripening saskatoon berries are bringing them out she speculates (makings for another kind of jam). None are^eausing any trouble, she adds. So wardens don't consider moving them out of the area. If alerted in time, usually by campground staff or other park employees, they'll head out to the scene, especially if cubs are involved They make sure visitors don't get too close and that they don't get between a mum and her cubs. And they unsnarl the traffic, breaking up the jam. It's the same in Glacier National Park. Spokesperson Devon Finlay says there's been so many sightings rangers have stopped counting. There are traffic problems there, too, but because of the size of the park, rangers don't do anything about them unless they happen to be close by. Then, like Waterton wardens, they tell tourists about the possible dangers and direct traffic if needed. "Usually, they unsnarl themselves," Finlay says about drivers of the vehicles. Where are the jams? "It's trendy," she observes. "For a while it'll be on the Camas Road, then it's certain spots on the Going-to-the-Sun Highway. Lately, it's been on the east side of the park, at Many Glacier, for instance."
