Noticed large crown from afar as ascending Grandeur from the east. Continued to approach and asses but no risk to trails from East or West approach. No tracks or any noticeable human signs by crown. Runs full length and noticed another crown below. Was hiking with no beacon so unable to search but looked like a natural occurrence. Completed two laps of Grandeur from East approach and only noticed on second lap - was too cloudy in morning of first lap so not clear if already existed or happened during time on feet.
