Man injured in bear attack at Glacier National Park walks over a mile to reach rescue helicopter

A section of a popular Glacier National Park trail was closed Thursday after a man was attacked by a bear and injured, park officials said, marking the second bear attack in Montana in just over a month.

Rangers are still trying to determine if the attack involved a grizzly bear or a black bear.

The 35-year-old man sustained non-life-threatening injuries Thursday morning when his hiking party encountered the bear near the Grinnell Glacier Overlook trailhead on the Highline Trail, the National Park Service said in a news release.
