A woman had a close encounter with nature’s majesty on a hike in the Utah mountains when she came across a beautiful young mountain lion that took her breath away.

Originally from Michigan, 40-year-old Denise Peterson moved to Utah to be closer to the mountains and mountain lions. In mid-April this year, Peterson was stunned, while hiking, to spot a young female lion sitting alone across the canyon.
