    I've only seen one other. That was for about 1 second as it ran off the edge of a road. At least I think that one was a bobcat.

    Sightings are extremely rare in CO.

    Well, well. I've seen one up there too. Was this just west of the Mt Alto picnic area? That's where I saw one.

    Your photo shows the cat on the left side of the trail whereas the vid shows it on the right side, down the slope, up the slope and again on the right side. I imagine the vid would have showed all locations of the cat. Did you sit there for a bit, camera in hand, and the cat walked to the left side of the trail (but not show it on the vid?)? (there just seems to be a disconnect in events where I'm scratching my head - though it's a trivial thing)

    Jim at the end of the vid. I attempted to zoom. It wouldn't. Video stopped. The cat started across and down the road While trying to restart video I accidentally snapped the still. Cat continued down and off through the bare spot on the left in the still. New video started byt cat gone.

    We used to hunt them things in utah.
    Lots of Ranch land up there.
    Bobcat will kill the Animals to eat.
    To us it was "pest control"
