Class B First-hand BFRO #16661

Possible tracks found by snowshoers near Steamboat Springs

Winter 2004 day Steamboat Springs, Routt County, Colorado 2 witnesses

Account

The witness and a companion were snowshoeing off trail and became stuck in a steep ravine. They found a trackway of large human-like footprints with a long stride ascending a very steep slope through deep snow. They judged the tracks unlike deer, elk, bear, or human due to depth, stride, and lack of drag marks.
