Pictures are too fuzzy and nothing to reference for size. Could be racoon for all we can tell.

Damn photos on this site. It's ridiculous.

You can see them in the gallery but on the link they're tiny and fuzzy.
Ok. I used IMGUR and that seems to work.

I’d say those would be worth investigating.

Black bears also have claws… that’s 100% black bear track

Measure across the front pad in inches….add 1 ….and that’s approximately how big that bear is in feet. 5” pad=6’ bear

Those are black bear tracks.
On a griz track you can draw a straight line between the pad and toes and not touch the toes….on a black bear the line will go through the pinky.

Hard to tell from the pic but if you can't draw a straight line directly underneath all of the 5 toes, and if the claw marks aren't further from the toes where you can only see just the tip of the claw, then it's a black bear track... and for size analysis, go by what SSS said..

Biggest tracks I've seen. Yeah, i think it's a blackie. I would say 5-5.5" across compared to my boot. I thought it was pretty cool. I found a 300 wby mag shell on the trail with the tracks. I have now named this bear 'Weatherby'.

I would definitely spend some time in the area if you see more sign.
A single set of tracks could mean that bear was just passing through

The width, depth, and cadence of the track says thats a shooter. Bigger boars develop a wobbly swagger when they are walking from the belly swing.

Based on size (relative to what I’m assuming isn’t just a tiny adult human foot…) and the arc of the toes, I’d say those prints were placed by a grizzly…

Polar bear, for sure
