This may be why RMNP does not put up perminant boxes or poles...


I don't understand .... what do any of those things have to do with no permanent boxes or poles?

Nope. I just put the bear inside and store him at least 100 feet away from camp. Works like a charm.

Keep in mind some of the camp sites have Bear Canisters so you don't have to bring one.

We camped at Fern Lake last year and each camp location had a Bear Canister there we could use.
