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.
