Ditto. Bear Scat on the TRT just below the Granite Chief Wilderness,  
bear sign all around Barker Pass, Richardson Lake, Velma Lakes, Dick's  
Lake.

They aren't required but there are a lot of bears in that area that  
infiltrate Tahoe City or the Truckee  areas in search of people food.  
In '07 I saw bear scat in several camping areas on the PCT SoBd from  
Donner Pass. I'd recommend using an Ursack with an OpSak odor proof  
liner and tie it to a down tree or snag well away from where you  
sleep. It's worked well for me, even when I could hear a bear in the  
vicinity tearing up a log or tree for grubs or what not during the  
night. They never found the Ursack.

In the Lake Tahoe area from Echo Lake to Hwy 80 are bear cans required  
(or
recommended)?
