A 33-year-old hiker, Anthony Pollio, died after a terrifying bear encounter on the Mount Brown Lookout Trail in Glacier National Park. While chasing the sunset, he descended into darkness and surprised a grizzly bear that had lived peacefully in the park its whole life. Though he deployed bear spray — its effectiveness uncertain — the bear attacked again after he tumbled 93 feet down a slope. The bear, acting defensively, re-engaged as Pollio tried to climb back up, delivering fatal head injuries. Claw marks and signs of rapid movement suggest a frantic, high-intensity struggle. Authorities stress: hike in groups, make noise, carry bear spray, and avoid trails after dark — surprise encounters are deadly.
