A hiker who survived a terrifying grizzly bear attack in Glacier National Park<\/u> is recovering after multiple surgeries \u2014 and is now facing mounting medical expenses.\u00a0<\/p>

The attack occurred on May 28 on the Grinnell Glacier Trail<\/u>, one of the park’s most popular hiking routes, according to a fundraising page created after the incident.<\/p>

The hiker, Daniel Crago, said he and a friend were nearing the end of the trail when he continued ahead to a snow-covered section to take in the views and snap a few photos.<\/p>

Crago said he attempted to alert the animal to his presence \u2014 but believes the close encounter may have startled the bear.<\/p>

<\/div>

“As soon as it saw me, it charged down and attacked me,” he wrote on the GoFundMe page.<\/p>

The bear bit his arm<\/u> and dragged him between 20 and 30 feet before running away.<\/p>

The attack left Crago with a severe arm injury that required emergency medical treatment<\/u>.<\/p>

Several nearby hikers quickly stepped in to help.<\/p>

A pediatric emergency room physician who happened to be on the trail stabilized Crago’s arm and helped stop the bleeding.<\/p>

Then, another hiker continuously made noise to discourage the bears from returning, according to the fundraiser page.<\/p>

Another visitor used a satellite communication device to contact emergency responders and request a medical evacuation.<\/p>

The injured hiker was airlifted by helicopter to a hospital, where he underwent emergency treatment and surgery<\/u>.\u00a0<\/p>

He said he’s undergone three surgeries so far and expects to need at least one additional procedure as part of his recovery. As a result, Crago said he is facing significant medical bills associated with his treatment and ongoing care.<\/p>

The fundraiser was created to help offset costs while he focuses on healing.<\/p>

“I am deeply grateful for everyone who has supported me,” he wrote.<\/p>

Crago also said that any money raised beyond his medical expenses will be donated to the U.S. National Park Service<\/u>.<\/p>

Glacier National Park is home to about 300 grizzly bears, according to the National Park Service. The park also has roughly 600 black bears, for a total bear population of about 900 to 1,000 bears (the figures are approximate).\u00a0<\/p>
