Campers report finding large footprints in the snow
Account
In the late 1970s the witness and a companion were winter camping near Colorado Springs and went exploring on a sunny morning after breakfast. They found very large human-like footprints in deep snow and followed them for a short distance. They stopped where the snow became too deep to continue, while the tracks continued upslope without breaking stride. They later told friends and family but did not discuss it further after meeting disbelief.
