Report 62969: Daylight sighting by motorist on Crane Mountain outside Kalispell

Driving up Crane mountain and saw a black creature bolt up the side of a mountain which I thought was a black bear.  When I pulled up to where I saw it I looked up to see a bipedal creature or whatever it was taking large strides up the steep incline up the hill. After 70 yards it stopped and looked at me then continued up the mountain out of sight.  It was completely covered in jet black hair, and when the sun hit its hair it shined a brass or copper color.
