Professor and students discover series of large footprints crossing high mountain trail
Account
The witness was hiking with straggling students toward a mountain lake when they found a line of very large human-like barefoot prints crossing the trail at a right angle. The prints were described as huge, wide, unusually deep, and widely spaced on a steep snowy slope, heading away from the lake. The witness told the students the prints were probably enlarged hiker tracks but privately regarded them as extremely unusual.
