Mountain Lion Gets Aggressive with Steamboat Hikers

News Link
An interesting account, wrongly reported as an attack.  The mountain lion was aggressive and threatening, but did not make physical contact with anyone.  We had a similar incident in our Open Space park about 10 years ago, when a hiker encountered a cat that was standing over a fresh deer kill. In that case the hiker made himself "big", yelled at the cat and was able to back away slowly facing the cat the whole time, and return back down the trail.
