Something walking upright in Missoula County, Montana

While horseback riding one afternoon or late morning, I observed a large, black upright creature that was walking along and just below a ridge to the east of me. As I my horse and I continued to climb up the hill to get a better vantage, the creature apparently realized it had been seen or saw us, and ran back in the direction from which it came. It was very tall and black. I thought it was a bear at first, but it was upright and extremely fast as it ran.

What stood out: something walking upright
