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.
Tracks near Summit County (2007)
After a two-foot snowstorm around Valentine's Day 2007, the guest found very large footprints with toes and a mid-tarsal ridge on a packed trail. He measured them at about 17 by 7 inches with over 4.5-foot strides and followed them about 0.6 miles to a road. A coworker saw them fresh but the camera failed, and later only two prints remained for photos.
