Mountain Lion Country: A Local Safety Brief After Yesterday’s Tragedy

Описание: Yesterday, an adult woman was killed in a suspected mountain lion attack on a Larimer County trail near Glen Haven, close to Estes Park.

I’m keeping this respectful and factual. No rumors, no gore, no speculation. This is a one-take local safety brief: what has been publicly stated so far, and the practical mountain lion protocol every hiker, runner, dog owner, and parent should know.

This video is not meant to sensationalize tragedy. It’s meant to help prevent another one.

In this brief:
• The confirmed lane: what’s been publicly stated so far (as of Jan 2, 2026)
• What to do if you see a mountain lion
• What to do if it escalates
• Trail discipline for the next few days (groups, awareness, kids, dogs)
• Tools: bear spray, and the reality of firearms (legal, trained, responsible)

Please keep the comments respectful. Someone’s family is hurting.

Safety note: This is general information for outdoor awareness and preparedness. Know your local laws and land rules, and get professional training if you choose to carry defensive tools.

If you have questions about hiking with kids, dogs, or how to think clearly during an encounter, drop them below and I’ll answer in practical terms.
