The body of a hiker reported missing in a Montana<\/a> national park was discovered Wednesday, with authorities pointing to a suspected bear attack as the individual’s cause of death.<\/p>\n

The hiker\u2019s remains were found approximately 2.5 miles up Glacier National Park<\/a>\u2019s Mt. Brown Trail by search-and-rescue crews around noon, the park said in a statement<\/u><\/a>. His identity has not yet been released.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Authorities said “his injuries are consistent with those sustained by a bear encounter,” adding that the individual was found “approximately 50 feet off the trail in a densely wooded area with downed timber.”\u00a0<\/p>\n

“Wildlife and law enforcement personnel are currently assessing the area for bear activity and any ongoing public safety concerns,”\u00a0 the park said.<\/p>\n

The area remains closed as authorities continue to investigate the apparent mauling.<\/p>\n

The last known message from the hiker was sent around 8:30 p.m. Sunday after he “had communicated plans to hike toward the Mt. Brown Fire Lookout,” officials said. He was subsequently reported missing on Monday.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The incident is the park\u2019s first deadly bear attack since 1998, authorities said, noting the last time an individual was injured by a bear in<\/a> Glacier National Park was August 2025.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The park is home to around 1,000 black bears<\/a> and grizzlies, with park officials estimating that about 300 grizzly bears were inhabiting the area in 2023.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The fatality comes after two hikers, ages 15 and 28, were seriously injured in a bear attack in Yellowstone National Park<\/a> on Monday, according to<\/u><\/a> park officials.<\/p>\n

The pair of hikers was airlifted by helicopter after an incident in which “park staff believe a female grizzly bear with two or three cubs-of-the-year (cubs in their first year of life) were involved in the encounter,” Yellowstone National Park said.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Fox News Digital reached out to Glacier National Park for comment.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
