Any ideas what made these tracks. Isolated pair of prints at about 5000' North Fork Lytle Creek area...

I was thinking bear too but pffff I really don't know.
My boot is on the left edge of the picture, so I'd guess about 3 to 4 inches front to back.

It does look like a bear, except for how small they are. Where's mama?
I'd go with Jim's choice - raccoon.

Where's mama bear? Always stalking me, especially when I'm alone and it's dark out.

I don't know... the prints look too big for raccoon. I vote for small bear.
