  2. Suspected mountain lion attack in Larimer County, Colorado leaves trails closed, with reminder to hikers- Do not hike alone.

    We have heard stories of hikers that have come across or even filmed mountain lions on trails in the past, but this comes as a clear reminder that these animals can be very dangerous.

    It’s always safer to hike with a companion or in a group as trails can be shared with wildlife.
    -Not only for safety from wildlife but falling, illness or dehydration among other dangers.
