Two hikers were recently injured in a grizzly bear attack in the scenic northern region of British Columbia, but are now in stable condition, according to the Conservation Officer Service.
The incident occurred on a serene Sunday in the McGregor Mountain area, located to the northeast of Prince George. The Conservation Officer Service has determined that the bear’s actions were defensive in nature.
Despite the frightening encounter on the Farm Cabin Trail near Pass Lake, where the hikers stumbled upon a sow with her two cubs, the agency has decided not to take any action against the bear due to the circumstances of the incident.
Both hikers are currently receiving medical care and are on the path to recovery.
