The mountain lion was spotted by a resident in the vicinity of Alpine Road near Pescadero Creek Road at about 7:05 a.m., officials said.
Residents are advised to never approach a mountain lion.
Anyone who encounters a mountain lion should face the animal, make noise, and try to appear larger by waving arms and throwing rocks, emergency officials said.
