My brother and I did an early morning walk on his Rock’n B Ranch near Cripple Creek Colorado over the Christmas holiday. It was in the low twenties with a coat of freshly fallen powder on the ground, a perfect morning for two brothers to walk in the Colorado Rockies.

Besides enjoying the beautiful morning the other purpose of our walk was to see what pictures our motion sensing camera might have taken.
Leading the Way
After only going a few hundred yards we crossed some mountain lion tracks.
Path Left by Lion
From the size of the prints it appeared to be a pretty big lion.
Track in the Snow
We could see in some areas where the lion had apparently been chasing some rabbits. The land around the Rock’n B is perfect for mountain lions; lots of deer, lots of rabbits and outcroppings of Rocks.
Rock Outcropping
We didn’t see the Mountain Lion on this trip but the motion sensor camera did get a picture of the lion along with a pretty cool night picture of a coyote.
