Possible tracks found along hiking trail outside Bozeman
Account
Two people hiking about a mile from a trailhead found two very large human-like footprints with distinct toes in soft ground beside the trail. They could not match the prints with a phone track-identification app and thought they might be Bigfoot, taking photos. An investigator later revisited the location with them but the prints had washed away in heavy rain.
