Large tracks found in southwest Colorado mountains
Account
The witness and his sister examined three large barefoot-like impressions found on a closed section of trail near timberline. The clearest impression showed a heel, arch, ball and five toes and was compared on video to a size-12 hiking boot. No animal was seen, and no further prints were found as the ground became harder toward the parked vehicles.
