USFS: Beware of Canfeld sow, cub

U.S. Forest Service/Panhandle Forests Facebooks this warning:

We are asking the public to please avoid the upper parking area and trail system on Canfield Mountain in Coeur d’Alene. An aggressive sow bear with a cub(s) has been reported on the Cave Trail, and we are working closely with Idaho Fish and Game to assess the situation. While confrontations with bears are very rare, an encounter with a sow and cubs are extremely dangerous. Mother bears are very protective of their cubs. We will provide an update on the situation as soon as we have more information.

Question: Do you hike Canfield Mountain?
