Bear season is here, Boulder.
What to expect: While their activity is heaviest in the foothills, some more intrepid bears have been spotted everywhere from the University of Colorado campus to smack dab in the middle of downtown.
So, we have a collection of places you're likely to see them and their shenanigans to be best (nay, bear) prepared.
Caveat: Longtime Boulderites might notice one particular scenario we left out. That is because there is only one Falling Bear. RIP.
