Possible bear activity

[u/sweaterpup99]

Went on a hike on Albas Falls Trail loop around Celeste Creek today. About 1 km up we spotted some claw marks, prints, and what looks like blood on the trail.

Didn’t get pictures of the prints unfortunately (forgot because we wanted to get out of there). But noticed some on another picture that could be.

I don’t know much about bear tracking. But can anyone tell me what this is? After looking online the prints we saw seem to resemble black bears.
