To me it is definitely cat. Just by the size alone, even though it is melted I have to say cougar.

Due to the lack of claw marks you can knock Grizzly off the list, I'm gonna say Cougar as well.

I may be wrong but I have yet to see a cougar with a 7 1/2" wide track . I wish I had found these tracks a day or so sooner , who knows the culprit may have even been standing in them still . Yes , they are melted a little but the toes in a line and a long narrow pad tells me it is a bear , wish it was a clearer picture . Found these tracks in 108 about 40 miles east of the mountains .

It seems that you can make out light claw marks at the second pic, if I was to guess I would say it is a front grizzly paw

I think so moose , I'll try to get my another photo to post. It shows the back pad over lapping the front .Track is definitely not round like a cat or wolf . Wish there were more clear tracks , a day sooner would have helped .
