Mountain lions have been spotted in the Aspen hiking trail area sparking concerns about safety.  The mountain lion(s) have been spotted down near hiking areas by rangers and residents sparking suspicion that they may be scavenging deer and elk carcasses that have been exposed as the lower level snow starts the spring thaw and the snow in the higher hills continues to be thick. 

The Pitkin County Colorado rangers are reminding hikers and outdoorsmen and women in the area to keep their dogs on a leash, regardless of the season, to keep them out of danger.  Hikers should also make noise while they are on the trails to scare away predators. If they do encounter a mountain lion, hikers should make themselves look bigger by fanning out their coats and putting their arms out, while looking the animal directly in the eye.  The rangers did reiterate that attacks are rare but being prepared is a must.
