Glacier National Park Bear Attack Kills Hiker

The National Park Service has not officially confirmed the victim's identity, stating it will withhold the name until 72 hours after next-of-kin notification. However, multiple reports identified the missing hiker as Anthony Pollio, 33, of Fort Lauderdale, Florida, who had communicated plans to hike to the Mount Brown Fire Lookout, a steep, 10-mile out-and-back route ascending more than 4,000 feet, with numerous switchbacks and blind corners that increase the risk of surprise wildlife encounters.
