Several cabin owners near the mouth of Icehouse Canyon reported seeing a
lion in that area in 1950, and others said they saw huge cat tracks in
Icehouse Canyon. State Trapper James Wolfort reported that he trapped
two lions on the coastal face of the range in 1947. Authentic reports
indicate that mountain lions occur in remote sections on both slopes of
the range, and in these areas mountain lions probably are as common as
they ever were.
