Bear Canisters on the Colorado Trail?

#1

Are bears a problem on the Colorado Trail? I know that bear canisters are not “required”, but are they useful or needed? I am considering using an Ursack (to keep stored in the vestibule of my tent) because of weight considerations. Any thought or experience with this issue will be greatly appreciated.

Never used a bear canisters in Colorado, however I always cook and eat away from the tent,and hang food. Easy and light enough to take a rope.
