\u201cThe incident occurred in a snowfield approximately 3.5\u202fmiles up the trail where the sound of loud rushing water made it difficult for either the man or the bear to detect one another,\u201d the park said in a news release.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p><\/div>

The Grinnell Glacier Trail is a popular trail to one of the park\u2019s best-known glaciers. It\u2019s situated on the park\u2019s eastern side near the Many Glacier Hotel.\u00a0<\/p><\/div>

The man was flown in a helicopter to a hospital in Kalispell, Montana. His injuries were described by the park as \u201cnon-life-threatening.\u201d\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/p><\/div>

The Grinnell Glacier Trail remains temporarily closed, and the park is not releasing any further information about the attack at this time. It is not clear whether the injured man was hiking solo or as part of a larger group.\u00a0<\/p><\/div>

The section of the North Shore Trail along Lake Josephine that connects the\u00a0Grinnell Glacier Trail to the trailhead was closed due to bear activity before the attack. It was reopened on Wednesday, May 27, a day before the encounter occurred.\u00a0<\/p><\/div>

The bear attack is the second bear attack in Glacier National Park this year. Anthony Pollio, a 33-year-old hiker who went missing near the Mount Brown lookout earlier this month, was found dead on May 6 with injuries consistent with a bear attack.\u00a0<\/p>
