It looks like anyone staying in the backcountry in RMNP is going to need a bear canister now.

I went up there for a few days last year, two nights in backcountry and two in a campground. The ranger that issued my permit said they had three bears in the park. I saw no evidence of a bear until I got to the campground. One was hanging around to see if it could pick up scraps I guess.
Maybe they've had more move in....
