Hi there dear friend! So happy you enjoyed this little hike. <3. I will check out your AWS trailers :)
Oh yes, there is definitely a local cougar in this area. I see her spoor all the time. Once my dog went up a drainage, and we heard monstrous chuffing noises because he woke up the lion in her den! Last month, some dirt bikers I saw on the trail informed me they got a visual of her on the Indian Reservation.
I saw loads of great prints on Thursday https://steemit.com/walkwithme/@creationofcare/walkwithme-snow-on-running-springs
Much love
