Bear Follows Hiker Through Mount Rainier

Close Encounter: Bear Follows Hiker Along Mount Rainier Path
A man documented the moment a black bear began following him while hiking down Mount Rainier, Washington, on Saturday, July 16.
Video recorded by Yuriy Trebushnoy shows the bear following him while Trebushnoy walks backwards holding a canister of spray.
Trebushnoy told Storyful the bear followed him for approximately three minutes and got as close as ten feet.
In a Facebook post to the page Washington Hikers and Climbers, Trebushnoy said that he only wielded the spray as precaution and that the bear did not appear to be aggressive.
“I know that you can read a lot about what a bear is going to do based on their body language, seeing the bear not showing any signs of fear or nervousness I knew he wasn’t curious about me,” Trebushnoy told Storyful.
Trebushnoy said that once he descended the mountain he notified other hikers and park rangers about the bear’s activity.
