Glacier National Park reports its first fatal bear encounter in 28 years
A missing hiker was found dead along the Mt. Brown Trail in Glacier National Park, with injuries consistent with a bear encounter, potentially marking the park’s first fatal bear-related death since 1998. The area is closed during the investigation, and authorities have withheld the hiker’s identity pending family notification as searchers had been looking for the climber after a Sunday message; the park hosts about 1,000 bears including grizzlies.
