Class B First-hand BFRO #25552

Multiple Tracks Found at Florissant Fossil Beds National Monument

September 1997 about 8:00 AM Florissant, Teller County, Colorado 1 witness

Account

The witness arrived early to hike a park nature trail after overnight rain and found elk tracks on the muddy path. On top of the elk tracks was a set of much larger barefoot human-like prints continuing in the same direction for dozens of feet. No other visitors had been on the trail, and the witness asked a ranger about the prints after looping back.
