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.
Possible snow tracks found outside Windsor
The witness reported large footprints in a light dusting of snow near the family home. A relative photographed one of several prints arranged in a row before they melted by midday. An investigator later reviewed the photos as inconclusive and visited the site to assess the nearby river corridor as cover for travel.
Hiking family finds possible track off trail outside Estes Park
A family of four was hiking and identifying animal tracks in a forested mountain area when the husband found a single large footprint off the trail. The print was about 13.5 to 14 inches long and about half an inch deep, with possible toe impressions, and crossed perpendicular to the trail. The husband could not leave a comparable impression in the same vicinity. The family photographed the print with a boot for scale, felt uneasy, and continued on without seeing or hearing anything that could have made it.
Tracks in Colorado (2007)
While turkey hunting with his wife in deep snow on an unused dirt road, the guest saw huge spaced divots. He crossed a creek and found a giant footprint with toes in a straight line. He followed the same individual's older and newer tracks to a cliff where it climbed, with body drag in snow, and photographed them.
Possible tracks found by snowshoers near Steamboat Springs
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.
Couple hears strange cry, finds big footprints in Pike National Forest near Fairplay
The couple reported hearing a very loud animal-like vocalization for about 20 minutes at night from their cabin. A few days later they found two large footprints in a wash near a marshy area a couple hundred feet from the cabin. They photographed the prints and estimated the first water-filled track at 16 to 18 inches long.
BFRO Investigator, Keith Foster's evaluation of tracks found on the south shore of the Eagle River. App. 1 mile east of the town of Eagle.
The witness reported finding three large human-like footprints while fly fishing on the south shore of a river east of town. The prints were documented with photographs and tape measurements, including one about 18 to 19 inches long with a 38-inch step to the next print. The investigator stated that bear, human, and hoax explanations were ruled out by visual examination and estimated a very heavy animal from depth and area.
Hikers find large footprint and unidentified droppings
Two people walking a dog on a trail noticed multiple large human-shaped droppings along the uphill side and discussed them as possible territorial marking. After turning back when a deer startled them, they found a single deep, clear footprint partly hidden by branches and photographed it with a shoe and water bottle for scale. They searched briefly for a natural cause for the impression but left quickly because the companion and dog were agitated.
