(Stock photo)UINTA NATIONAL FOREST -- A bear scare forced forest teams to close some campgrounds at Payson Lakes in the Uinta National Forest.
The U.S. Forest Service says a black bear had visited the same campground for several mornings.
Wednesday, crews closed that campground and several others and moved the campers already staying in the area.
They set humane bear traps and hope to catch the bear and return it to the wild. Then, they'll be able to reopen the campsites.
