A woman is recovering in hospital after a bear attack on the Lowline Trail in Canmore last night. The woman and a friend were cycling in the Three Sisters area around 7:30 last night when they encountered what they described as a brown bear. When they attempted to ride away the bear took a swipe at the woman causing a serious upper torso injury. Her friend was able to ward the animal off with bear spray. Wildlife officials closed the area and remained in the area looking for the bear until dark.
