Tiger, where did you see the cat?? I have heard that they are found more at the lower elevations (around 4000 feet) than the high country.
Lassen National Park, summer of 1989. Mill Creek Falls trail. Don't know the elevation.
I was a volunteer in the 1990's in Cuyamaca Rancho State Park, where a birder was killed by a cougar and there were many sightings of them. Many times when I hiked in that park I would see cougar tracks on the trails. Once I even saw the drag marks where a cougar had dragged its kill into the bushes (hopefully not another hiker), but I never saw a cougar there.
