GLACIER NATIONAL PARK - Bear activity has prompted changes at a campground in Glacier National Park.

Bears have been frequenting the Many Glacier Campground which has been restricted to hard-sided campers only.

This means that tents and soft-sided campers will not be permitted until further notice.

A bear may have received a food reward and rangers are investigating.

The Many Glacier wilderness campground — a backcountry campground — has been closed due to bear activity.

Glacier National Park spokeswoman Gina Icenoggle notes the closures are not unusual when bears are in the area of campgrounds.
