While authorities did not see any bears, they found tracks from an adult grizzly bear and at least one cub near the site. Authorities also said there was no sign the bear tried to eat the victim, who seemed to have been jogging when she was attacked.
The victim's body was found Saturday morning by a hiker on the Buttermilk Trail, about 8 miles west of the town of West Yellowstone, the Montana Department of Fish, Wildlife and Parks said in a statement. The woman's body was a few hundred yards from a trailhead and private campground.
"This person was likely out for a morning jog along the trail and that's when this happened," Jacobsen told the Associated Press. Authorities set up traps for the bears on Saturday and Sunday nights but were unsuccessful. An aircraft was also used to attempt to find the bears but none were found.
