Uninvited Guests Show up At Montana Inn

Posted: Updated:
Missoula, MT -

A rather unusual guest tried to check in at the Days Inn in Missoula, Montana yesterday. This visitor was without reservations or an invitation for that matter. A momma black bear and two cubs were tree-ed just outside the building. Fish, Wildlife, and Parks officials were able to dart the bears from the second story of the hotel. Hundreds of old pillows from the hotel were used to help make the descent a little more comfortable. The sister cub was much higher in the tree and so snug that a member of F-W-P had to climb up the tree, put a rope around her, and helped hoist her safely down. The bears will be transported to a safe place close to the river where authorities say they probably intended to go in the first place.
