Daylight sighting by hikers at Mayflower Gulch outside Leadville

25 July 2019 about 1:45 pm Between Climax Pass And Copper Mtn, Summit County, Colorado 1 witness

Account

The witness was sitting on a rock in a high basin while hiking when they saw a large brown biped try to climb a snow cornice, fail, climb down, and walk briskly north out of view, then later reappear walking south above the cornice. About 45 minutes later the witness returned to the spot with another hiker and found handprints and footprints in the snow and photographed them. No further sighting occurred after traversing the difficult slope.
