MAMMOTH HOT SPRINGS, Wyo.– Two men hiking in Yellowstone National Park were hurt in a bear attack on Monday.
Yellowstone National Park said the hikers, 15 and 28, were injured on the Mystic Falls Trail near the Old Faithful geyser.
Evidence has led the national park to believe a female grizzly bear and her two or three young cubs were responsible for the attack.
The National Park Service said several areas around Old Faithful remain closed while the attack is investigated.

Yellowstone National Park said this is the first time a bear injured someone in the park in 2026. The last known injury was in Sept. 2025, when a 29-year-old hiker was injured by a grizzly bear on the Turbid Lake Trail.
