Class B First-hand BFRO #4904

Professor and students discover series of large footprints crossing high mountain trail

17 May 2000 late morning Red River, Taos County, New Mexico

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.
