Episode Details

A Florida hiker vanished into the night on Glacier National Park’s Mt. Brown Trail—only to be found dead after a rare, fatal grizzly bear attack. The incident, the first of its kind in the park since 1998, unfolded as Pollio descended after dark, likely startling a 15-year-old, resident bear that responded defensively. Though the bear remains at large, officials say no capture is needed since the attack was provoked. This sobering event underscores the critical need for bear safety: hike in groups, make noise, avoid night treks, carry and know how to use bear spray—and if charged, deploy spray and play dead.
