WINTHROP, Wash. (WFLA/NBC) – A couple hiking in Washington State had an encounter with a big bear.

The couple got into their car when they spotted the animal.

You see the bear’s nose close to the window. 

It was trying to open the passenger door.

When that failed, the bear walked across the front and climbed on the hood.

The woman inside shrieked.

The bear walked around on the car for a bit before jumping off and running into the woods.
