Hey, when you’re out and about in the stunning landscapes of Western North Carolina, just make sure you play it cool around our adorable black bear neighbors, okay? These majestic creatures are part of the charm here, but it’s important to keep a safe distance, no bear hugs! Remember, don’t go tempting fate by trying to feed them. Keep your snacks and trash properly stored, roll with a buddy when hiking, and make some noise along the way. Let’s be good neighbors and ensure a harmonious coexistence in this awesome wilderness!
