Bear Attack Survivor Shares Gratitude

Thirty-two-year-old Daniel Crago survived a brutal grizzly bear attack in Glacier National Park after mistaking a cub for a harmless animal—only to be charged and mauled while hiking alone. Despite being an experienced hiker with bear spray, he couldn’t deploy it due to rushing water and rugged terrain. Fellow hikers and a doctor on scene saved his life with immediate aid, including a tourniquet. Now recovering from three surgeries and facing more procedures—including possible skin grafts—Crago has launched a GoFundMe to cover medical costs. Still, he’s profoundly grateful to be alive, calling himself “extremely lucky” and focused on cherishing every day. This incident follows the park’s first bear-related fatality since 1998, underscoring the hidden dangers even seasoned adventurers face in bear country.
