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.
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 man hiked over a mile (.65 kilometers) to Granite Park Chalet with assistance and was flown to a spot where he could be taken by ambulance to a hospital in Whitefish.
