Thought I'd drop in and let people know that there was a black bear poking around on Starz last night at around 7:45pm. My wife and I were just starting down when we ran into a rider coming back up. He had just had a standoff with the bear on the right fork, I'm assuming somewhere near the big log ride. Bear had wandered back towards the rest of the trail. We decided to head back down cautiously with all three of us together and didn't see it again.
If you're riding up there around sundown in the next while, especially alone, make sure to make plenty of noise.
