Check out the intense moment this group of hikers have a stand off with a huge grizzly bear after one woman says it chased her up a mountain path.
Holly Wang was out hiking in Glacier National Park, in Montana, USA, when she says the large bear made an appearance on the trail.
Spotting the bear, she then started running the opposite way down the path, where she luckily found another group of hikers.
What followed was an intense standoff with the large bear, this time backed by a group of others, who started making huge amounts of noise.
Filmed on the 25th of July, 2025, the intense standoff finally ended and the bear made its way in the opposite direction.
Fortunately, Holly says that no one was hurt by the showdown.
Holly, from California, USA, said: “In Glacier National Park, on the Highline Trail, I was hiking down alone when I suddenly locked eyes with a massive grizzly bear-just five or six meters away.
“For a split second, I thought about whether I should take a photo-it was that close!
“But my body reacted first: I turned around and walked away. After turning a corner where it couldn’t see me, I started speed-walking, then sprinting.
“My heart was begging the bear not to chase me, but deep down I knew it was about to come after me. I thought, this is the end. The last time I’d seen other people was about 40 minutes earlier, and they had gone in the opposite direction.
“Somehow, after running desperately for 30 or 40 meters, I saw the same group of four hikers I’d met earlier. Without even looking back, I shouted at them: ‘There’s a bear!’ I was saved.
“The five of us moved forward together, cautiously yelling to make noise. Just ten meters ahead, the bear appeared around the corner right in front of us.
“We waved our arms, raised our bear sprays, and tried to scare it off but it wasn’t intimidated at all. After what felt like forever in a tense standoff, it finally decided to let us go.”
