What made this track?

Wondering why you think no bobcats in the area ? Colorado does have a few lynx too.
Hard to tell without a more distinct track showing nails or not.
Wolf sounds possible.
 
Small cougar. My opinion based on track proportion and no claw marks. As cats get bigger, the ‘humps’ on the lower part of the pad becomes more distinct. Bigger track...

At first glance I was 100% coyote. But when someone mentioned the track pointing to 10o'clock I have to change to small lion.
 
I originally seen the coyote/wolf track going straight. And after being brought up I could see the cat track going to the 10 o'clock position. But I could very well be wrong.

It’s not a cat, both bobcats and lions have very elongated toes and the rear pad doesn’t match any cat track. Probably a coyote, looks too small for a wolf

Reactions: KOK
It's probably already been said, but it's too small for a wolf, at least an adult wolf.
