Just wanted to alert all Blodgett hikers that me and a buddy came within 20 ft. of a mountain lion just below the saddle as we were descending today. It was about 6:45 in the morning and it almost seemed like we surprised him. He was big! Probably weighed 200-250 pounds. He ran into some bushes and just stared at us for several minutes before slinking off into the brush.
