A paw print in cracking dry mud with a hiking pole handle for scale. The print is from a large animal and may be a mountain lion.

The track of multiple prints from the same animal in drying mud with a hiking pole for scale.

Still looking at tracks, since the heavy rains in December. Would love a definitive ID on this type. Big dog? Cougar?

A set of four paw prints in fresh mud with a hiking pole beside them for scale.

One advantage of rain is the wildlife tracks on the trails afterward.

Can't decide if this was a puma... leaning yes. Stride length ~3ft and prints are about right (a few inches across.)

He walked with ghost feet, and could hide inside a raindrop. But he could be the mountain itself if he wanted, changing colors with the seasons.
