Hikers find three sets of fresh tracks on Fanton Trail
Account
The witness and a companion were hiking up a trail when they found a large footprint in the middle of the trail. They continued about a mile, seeing similar prints, then noticed a second smaller set and a third even smaller set entering the trail. Hearing and smelling nothing but feeling a presence nearby, they turned back.
