Hikers find large barefoot prints on the Elwha River Trail

The witness and a companion were hiking out after a multi-day camping trip when they found a large barefoot-like print in mud, with additional fainter tracks continuing along the trail, and took a single cellphone photo.

The witness noted the nighttime disturbance could have been a bear, but also noted a food-strewn garbage bag was left untouched.
