BOISE -- The Idaho Department of Fish and Game is closing the Rainbow Basin area near Trinity Mountain because of an aggressive and injured black bear in that area.  That's about 35 miles north of Mountain Home.

The main trail leading from Big Trinity Lake was closed Thursday.

Fish and Game say a camper told them the bear was acting aggressive, and subsequently it was wounded by campers when it approached them.

The campgrounds in the Trinity Mountain area will remain open.

The public is being asked to report any sightings to officials.
