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.

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.

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
