The body of a hiker reported missing in a Montana national park was discovered Wednesday, with authorities pointing to a suspected bear attack as the individual's cause of death.
The hiker’s remains were found approximately 2.5 miles up Glacier National Park’s Mt. Brown Trail by search-and-rescue crews around noon, the park said injured by a bear in Glacier National Park was August 2025.
The park is home to around 1,000 black bears and grizzlies, with park officials estimating that about 300 grizzly bears were inhabiting the area in 2023.
The fatality comes after two hikers, ages 15 and 28, were seriously injured in a bear attack in Yellowstone National Park on Monday, according to park officials.
The pair of hikers was airlifted by helicopter after an incident in which "park staff believe a female grizzly bear with two or three cubs-of-the-year (cubs in their first year of life) were involved in the encounter," Yellowstone National Park said.
