Grizzly poop ‘everywhere’ when hiker broke ankle on anniversary, Montana rescuers say

A woman and her husband decided to go on a hike for their anniversary — and ended up surrounded by poop.

They left for the Bob Marshall Wilderness in Montana on Monday, July 18, the Two Bear Air Rescue said. The trip took a turn when the woman broke her right ankle, rescuers said.

“Her husband had to leave her there to hike out 7 miles for help as she broke both bones in her leg above the ankle and couldn’t walk,” rescuers said in a news release.

The woman was stranded in the wilderness and surrounded by grizzly bear poop, rescuers said.

“There was grizzly bear poop everywhere and she was stuck alone out there,” rescuers said.

Poop or scat is a sign that bears like to hang out in that area, according to the National Park Service. The woman could have been in an area with high bear activity.

Rescuers in a helicopter initially couldn’t reach the woman because winds exceeded 50 miles per hour. Crews landed about 1.5 miles downstream and hiked to the woman’s location.

Once they arrived, they carried the woman on their backs out of the wilderness. The woman was then flown to a town in Teton County.

“When deep in the backcountry, bring a satellite communication device to save valuable time and enable the group to stay together,” rescuers said.
