Grizzly Bear Charges Hiker at National Park, Drags Him Around 20 Feet in Brutal Attack

A hiker who survived a terrifying grizzly bear attack in Glacier National Park is recovering after multiple surgeries — and is now facing mounting medical expenses.

The attack occurred on May 28 on the Grinnell Glacier Trail, one of the park’s most popular hiking routes, according to a fundraising page created after the incident.

The hiker, Daniel Crago, said he and a friend were nearing the end of the trail when he continued ahead to a snow-covered section to take in the views and snap a few photos. . .

As he scanned the area, he spotted a larger grizzly on the mountainside about 15 feet away, the fundraising page noted. . .

“As soon as it saw me, it charged down and attacked me,” he wrote on the GoFundMe page. (Read more from “Grizzly Bear Charges Hiker at National Park, Drags Him Around 20 Feet in Brutal Attack” HERE)
