A woman who was hiking on a trail in Colorado’s Larimer County was found dead on Thursday after what appears to have been a mountain lion attack. If further investigation by state officials determines the animal or animals are responsible, it would be the first fatal mountain lion attack on a human in Colorado in almost 30 years.
Colorado Parks and Wildlife spokeswoman Kara Van Hoose said several people who were hiking on the Crosier Mountain Trail south of Glen Haven at 12:15 p.m. when they saw a person lying on the ground and a mountain lion nearby. They said they were about 100 yards away.
