On the morning of May 28, Daniel Crago, 32, and a friend headed out on the popular Grinnell Glacier Trail for their last day of hiking. Near the end of the trail, Crago\u2019s friend opted to stay back while Crago went ahead with a few other hikers to snap some photos. He snapped a selfie standing in front of the stunning glacial scene, among other photos, then headed back toward his friend.\u00a0<\/p><\/div>

As he walked, he was startled to see a small bear. \u201cI immediately checked my surroundings and no more than 15 feet above me on the mountainside was a larger grizzly,\u201d Crago wrote on GoFundMe. With no time to grab his bear spray, Crago tried to make noise and alert the grizzly to his presence.<\/p><\/div>

Glacier National Park officials said in a news release June 2 that they believe the sound of loud water in the area \u201cmade it difficult for either the man or the bear to detect one another.\u201d\u00a0<\/p><\/div>

\u201cAs soon as we looked at each other, it charged down at me,\u201d Crago told FOX5.<\/p><\/div>
