The national parks posted a photo on social media showing a tent shredded by a bear that smelled something enticing.
Officials suggest visitors store their food in a canister during the day, and at night, place it away from where they sleep.
Visitors are also asked not to store scented items inside their tents or leave backpacks unattended.
