Hiker finds possible tracks in Indian Ridge area of Jasper National Park

15 July 2018 1:48 pm Jasper, Alberta 1 witness

Account

The witness hiked solo down off-trail via a gap into a high meadow in Jasper National Park. While crossing the meadow she found a very large footprint with distinct toes and later a second partial impression of similar length. She photographed the tracks and landscape, later noticing what looked like a possible cave opening in the photos.
