WEST GLACIER, Mont. — Search and rescue crews found the body of a missing hiker around noon Wednesday on the Mount Brown Trail in Glacier National Park, approximately 2.5 miles up the trail and about 50 feet off the path in dense timber; the National Park Service said the injuries are consistent with a bear encounter. Park officials closed the affected trail section and said wildlife and law enforcement personnel are assessing the area while investigators continue work; the service is withholding the hiker's name pending next-of-kin notification. Officials noted the park's last deadly bear attack occurred in 1998 and recorded the most recent bear-inflicted injury in August 2025.
