Bear Attack in Yellowstone Injures Two Hikers, Prompts Trail Closure
Two hikers were injured in a bear attack on the Mystic Falls Trail near Yellowstone National Park's Old Faithful geyser. The incident occurred on Monday afternoon, leading to the temporary closure of a large area near the Midway Geyser Basin, which includes several trails and backcountry campsites. Park officials have not specified the species of bear involved, though both grizzly and black bears inhabit the area. Details about the hikers' conditions and whether they were hospitalized have not been released. Bear attacks in Yellowstone are rare, despite the park receiving over 4 million visitors annually.
