'This Is It' | Hiker Survives Harrowing Grizzly Attack at Glacier National Park
Crago was airlifted to a hospital and has undergone multiple surgeries after the attack, while a fundraiser for his medical bills nears its goal.
- On May 28, San Diego resident Daniel Crago was attacked by a grizzly bear while hiking the Grinnell Glacier Trail in Montana's Glacier National Park during what was supposed to be his final day of vacation.
- After hiking more than 20 miles throughout the week, Crago spotted a bear cub near the trail, then noticed a larger grizzly bear "no more than 15 feet above on the hill," according to Crago.
- The bear charged and bit Crago's arm; fortunately, two nearby hikers, including a doctor, provided immediate medical assistance until emergency responders arrived and airlifted him to a hospital.
- Crago has undergone multiple surgeries and faces at least one more procedure as he recovers, while a fundraiser covering his medical costs has nearly reached its goal.
- Despite the trauma, Crago remains optimistic about full recovery and retains his love for the outdoors; research published in Nature shows a little more than 14 percent of grizzly attacks prove fatal.
