Jeffco's Apex Park will likely stay closed through this weekend after aggressive bear incident

Apex Park in Jefferson County, Colorado, remains closed indefinitely after a woman was attacked and followed by a black bear for over 30 minutes on the Enchanted Forest Trail. Colorado Parks and Wildlife (CPW) confirmed the incident as an attack due to physical contact, marking the first such case in the state this year. The park closed on June 22, and CPW urges the public to avoid food attractants amid concerns about increased bear conflicts.
