Two people hiking a trail near Pass Lake in British Columbia, Canada , were seriously injured Sunday after they were attacked by a mother grizzly bear.

The British Columbia Conservation Officer Service said the hikers encountered the grizzly bear and her two cubs on Farm Cabin Trail.

The agency said the hikers were taken to the hospital, where they are stable and recovering.

An investigation determined the bear's actions were defensive in nature.

Due to the location and nature of the attack, no action will be taken against the bears, the agency said.

The trailhead was closed indefinitely after the attack, the COS said.
