A hiker and her friend had a terrifying run-in with a brown bear near Chugach State Park in Alaska, suffering injuries but expected to recover. The bear emerged from thick brush on an overgrown, unofficial trail — a setup that makes surprise wildlife encounters far more likely. One dog got separated but was safely found and returned home. Wildlife experts say bears are more defensive now, especially with moose sightings nearby and windy conditions making them more skittish. Dense vegetation and hidden trails mean even the most cautious hikers can be caught off guard — noise alone isn’t enough when nature’s hiding in plain sight.
