UPDATE
The U.S. Forest Service reports Garden Gate, Gravel Pit and Garden Gate trial heads at Crosier Mountain reopened Monday after last week's deadly mountain lion attack.
A woman died in the New Year's Day tragedy - the first such fatal casualty in Colorado since 1999, according to Colorado Parks and Wildlife. Rangers killed two mountain lions in the immediate aftermath of that attack.
State officials said Monday: "CPW officers, federal agency staff and houndsmen with trained dogs searched thoroughly for more than 72 hours" for a third, however, "no fresh tracks or scents were detected."
In July, a mountain lion killed a family dog on a walk with its owners in Boulder. A mountain lion was also suspected in the disappearance of a family dog in Erie in October.
