Before the sun rose on Sunday morning, a mother bear and her two cubs walked through Eagle Point Campground in Lake Tahoe’s Emerald Bay, searching for food while campers slept. One woman woke up suddenly in her trailer: The mother bear was trying to get inside.

The CDFW and California State Parks described the bear as a "danger to public safety" in the south Lake Tahoe area.
