The bridge to the southern rim of one of Yellowstone National Park, Wyo., top attraction, the Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone River, is shown closed today. Park officials closed this area after a grizzly sow killed a man who was hiking with his wife a mile and a half up the trail the day before. The grizzly mauling was the first such death in the park in a quarter century but the third in the region in just over a year. See story below. (AP Photo/Matt Volz)
