Many years ago I went out to explore in an area within those rings and got caught in a wicked thunderstorm at sunset. Luckily I had a cheap compass on my watchband. I was able to get back, but it was an eye opener and after that night I ALWAYS have a good compass (it’s connected by paracord to my pack) and two headlamps.
Regarding bears, I did run across bear prints in the snow there that seemed way too big for a Black Bear. I am no bear expert, but my size 9 boot print fit inside with plenty of room to spare.
Hoping for a positive outcome for these guys.
