Another myth is that the most dangerous encounter is getting between a mother black bear and her cubs. In fact, bears in the face of danger send their cubs up a tree. If you see a mother bear and cubs, give them space, be quiet, and retreat slowly, the same procedure you should use in any close encounter with a bear.
