A brown bear attacked a bicyclist on Anchorage’s Dome Trail, leaving him seriously but not life-threateningly injured. Officials said this was the second aggressive bear encounter on the trail in less than a year.

Two hikers were injured after fighting off a brown bear about a quarter-mile up the Exit Glacier trail near Seward. The National Park Service closed the trail while troopers and biologists assess the area.

Officials have indefinitely closed about 2.5 miles of popular biking, running and hiking trails in Far North Bicentennial Park and the Campbell Tract in East Anchorage due to heightened brown bear activity around salmon streams.

A hiker near the South Fork of Eagle River was mauled by a bear feeding on salmon and sustained non-life-threatening injuries; it's the second attack in the Anchorage area in under a week.

Michael Soltis’ death is the second fatal bear attack in the Anchorage municipality in two summers.
