    Watch your water crossings. Water levels can change in hrs in the mountains, especially if there has been lots of rain, or snow, then warm weather. Spring bear in the mountains means it could be +25 during the day, and -10 at night! Heavy packs if you are keeping the cape and meat! Go have fun, spring in the mountains doesn't get much nicer!!

    This. Know your limits and don't go too far in if going solo...hot days and lots of bugs that time of year, makes meat care a bit more tricky if you can't get it out in one trip...like moosin said a bear cape and head is surprisingly heavy. If you haven't boned anything out yet watch a video or two on how to do that and bone out your meat before loading your pack. Packed one out last spring, had help and left the cape, my pack was still over 120# with camp. As mentioned cold nights can be the norm into late June, days can warm up quite a bit. Bears are definitely around, make sure to follow up and let us know how it went!
