WEST GLACIER – Officials in Glacier National Park say the Rising Sun campground, located on the east side of the park, will be available to hard-sided camping beginning Saturday morning.
The campground was closed on Tuesday due to recent bear activity in the area, including a young bear taking a pillow from a sleeping camper and what was believed to be the same bear sitting on the corner of an occupied tent last Sunday.
Park rangers and wildlife managers will continue to use aversive conditioning to try to keep the bear away from the campsite.
Park officials say they do not yet know when the hard-sided camping limitation will be lifted.
