The bear charged the hikers, who were able to deploy bear spray.
Multiple sections of a Canadian national park are closed after two hikers were attacked by a bear on Tuesday afternoon. The hikers, who have not been identified, were in Canada 's Waterton Lakes National Park, in Alberta. The pair were hiking from the park's Crandell Lake to Ruby Ridge, a colorful rock formation in the park. A number of trails of varying length connect the two sites, which are about two miles apart. The two encountered the bear around 2 p.m.
Both were in stable condition. Park officials said they are searching for the bear, but have not yet located it. It's not known what kind of bear it was, or what might have caused it to attack the hikers. Black bears and grizzly bears both live in the park, according to its website, with black bears being more common. The incident remains under investigation, officials said. Any bear sightings should be reported to park staff, according to a news release shared online.
