It appears humans aren't the only ones making the trek to the top of Half Dome in Yosemite National Park.

In a Facebook post Tuesday, the park said rangers recently found evidence of a black bear's presence on the summit of the strenuous but popular hiking destination.

"Yosemite bears are excellent climbers and can easily tackle the 46-degree angle - no cables needed!" the park wrote in the post.

The park said this serves as a reminder that bear safety applies everywhere in the park.
