A marmot hanging out, looking for snacks. We were hiking Avalanche Peak this day. The small animals look for handouts because people insist on feeding them. The other day, someone threw their lunch to a bear (in a panick when the bear approached) and then ran. This is a bad thing. The bear is now stalking people for food. The day we climbed the peak, resource managment closed the trail down because of this problem. Unknown when the trail will open again.
