Yellowstone Campground Reopened to Tents
Posted on July 8th, 2010
YELLOWSTONE NATIONAL PARK, Wyo. (AP) -- Campers with tents and pop-up trailers are again using Yellowstone National Park's Norris Campground after wildlife managers captured a grizzly bear.
Last week, the campground was temporarily restricted to hard-sided units because two young grizzly bears had been seen frequenting the campground.
Initial efforts to haze or relocate the bears were unsuccessful. However, the sub-adult male bear was captured Friday evening and taken to a zoo in Billings, Mont. With the male bear gone, the young female grizzly left the campground area and the temporary ban on tents and pop-up trailers was lifted Sunday.
