Shoshone and Caribou-Targhee National Forests in northwest
Wyoming. The Department strongly recommends individuals
working and recreating in these areas take precautions,
including carrying bear pepper spray, to avoid conflicts with
grizzly bears. Information about human safety and proper
storage of food and other attractants in occupied grizzly habitat
is available from the Cheyenne Headquarters, Department
Regional Offices, U.S. Forest Service Offices and the Department
