The man hiked over a mile to Granite Park Chalet with assistance and was flown by a "Two Bear Air" rescue helicopter to a spot where he could be taken by ambulance to a hospital in Whitefish. The trail from Haystack Butte to the Granite Park Chalet will remain closed until further notice, officials said.

The National Park Service said it does not know what species the bear belongs to yet, but there are black and grizzly bears in Glacier National Park.

The National Park Service said that the man sustained non-life threatening injuries and that officials were still working to identify the bear's species

Rangers and other hikers helped the man walk more than a mile in a mountainous area so that he could be taken to a hospital, the National Park Service said.

A section of trail in Montana's Glacier National Park was closed on Thursday after a hiker was attacked by a bear, officials said.

A 35-year-old man suffered non-life-threatening injuries after encountering a bear Thursday morning on the Highline Trail.
