Daylight sighting by hikers at Mayflower Gulch outside Leadville
The witness was sitting on a rock in a high basin while hiking when they saw a large brown biped try to climb a snow cornice, fail, climb down, and walk briskly north out of view, then later reappear walking south above the cornice. About 45 minutes later the witness returned to the spot with another hiker and found handprints and footprints in the snow and photographed them. No further sighting occurred after traversing the difficult slope.
Backpackers hear growls, knocking and observe two large, hairy bipeds at Surprise Lake
The witness and a companion were camped at Surprise Lake at dusk when they heard patterned knocks and rock-on-tree sounds. After the witness threw a rock against a tree and heard a similar sound returned, they saw a large brownish-red animal squatted and swaying behind a tree upslope. They attempted blurry photos while knocks were heard from behind the camp and from the animal's direction before leaving at first light.
Driver has daylight sighting off CO 91 between Copper Mtn. and Leadville
The witness was driving toward Leadville in daylight when he noticed a tall stump-like shape in a meadow about 100 feet away. As he got closer the shape appeared to rotate from the waist up and look at him, revealing a hairy, thick-bodied figure with a head, facial features, and long legs. He braked hard and skidded to a stop, losing sight in the dust, and when he turned back there was no tree or figure in the field.

The driver quickly turned the bike to leave while the passenger slipped off, glanced briefly, and saw the creature stand up much larger than a person before it disappeared from view. The pair reported the sighting to family members at the cabin but were not taken seriously.
