It is a lovely hike. In October, to my complete surprise, a mountain lion crossed the path about 20 yards in front of me. It looked to be a young one about 5-6'nose to tail. It was in a prowl stance, didn't notice me (phew).
Later read of 2 brothers attacked by a mountain lion in area area northeast of Sacramento in El Dorado County, CA. One killed, the other badly injured. They did everything recommended to save themselves. Mountain lions are protected in California, but this one was deemed a danger & was euthanized.
