Occurred on August 4, 2025 / Glacier National Park, Montana, USA
Info from Licensor: "I was hiking the Grinnell Glacier Trail in Glacier National Park with my fiancé. He went up the trail a few hundred yards, and I stopped to catch my breath. I noticed something moving out of the corner of my eye, and turned to see two grizzlies coming up the trail towards me. I immediately grabbed my bear spray and tried to tuck myself into the rocks, out of their way. The trail is up a mountain, so I couldn't hide anywhere. One went into the bushes, the other obviously didn't care. My fiancé was trying to talk to me the entire time on the walkie talkies we had, but I obviously couldn't answer. He did end up running into them up the trail, but they stopped about 50 feet in front of him!"
