Hiker Survives Grizzly Bear Attack in Glacier National Park, Faces Long Recovery
A hiker named Daniel Crago experienced a terrifying encounter with a grizzly bear while hiking in Glacier National Park, Montana. On May 28, Crago was on the Grinnell Glacier Trail when he noticed a small grizzly bear. As he attempted to alert the bear, a larger grizzly charged at him, resulting in a surprise attack. The bear bit Crago's arm and dragged him approximately 20-30 feet before retreating. Nearby hikers quickly responded, providing medical aid and contacting emergency services. Crago was airlifted to a local hospital where he received treatment for non-life-threatening injuries, including a fractured arm. This incident follows a previous fatal bear attack in the same park earlier in May, which resulted in the death of another hiker, Anthony Polio. The Grinnell Glacier Trail remains closed as a precaution.
