Woman describes vivid early morning sighting just below Independence Pass
Account
The witness stopped while commuting before dawn to get air and wake up. From beside the truck she watched a furry reddish figure stand upright, tip its head back as if sniffing, stare at her, then bend to pick up a small object and run bipedally across a meadow toward the treeline. She then drove away shaking and tearful, convinced it was not a bear.
