ASPEN, Colo. — Bears have come to the Aspen area looking for food and trouble as they wake up from their hibernation.
The Aspen Times reports that Aspen police received four calls about bears Tuesday, including one call about a bear that broke a window and tried to call inside.
The woman whose window was broken had recently been cooking. She was able to scare the bear away.
Officer Dan Glidden says two downtown restaurants have had bear problems due to unsecured trash. Those restaurants were ticketed as a result.
Glidden says spring rains have been good and the bears should be able to find food in the mountains soon.
