A grizzly bear mauled a hiker in the mountains of Wyoming on Monday in what officials described as a "surprise encounter."
The unidentified man was hiking Francs Peak, a 13,000-foot summit southeast of Yellowstone National Park near Meeteetse, when he suddenly encountered the grizzly bear, the Wyoming Game and Fish Department said Tuesday in a news release.
"The man, an experienced out-of-state recreationist, was hiking at high elevation when he encountered the bear at close range," the department said. "The encounter happened too suddenly for him to deploy the bear spray he was carrying."
The hiker was airlifted to a hospital in Billings, Montana, for treatment, officials said.
