Sisters find footprints and hear whistles

What Happened:  My sister and myself were at the creek hiking just north of the formation. We stepped into the dry Creek bed because it was easy walking.part of the sand was damp and we noticed large footprints going in a northerly direction. I put my heel next to print heel and my sister put her heel at the top of my foot and the large foot print was 2 or 3 inches longer than both of ours. My shoe was 7 1/2 and hers was 8 1/2. The depth looked to be 2 inches deep ours only 1/4 of an inch if that. We thought the distance between foot prints was rather long but didn't measure them. Around the same time years we heard very loud whistles and I would do it back. I can whistle very loud. We just thought it was a person . we were the only one there. No other cars or people. Two other times some bushes rattled or shook and we thought it was quail. Anyway the prints were perfect footprints and we could see them going up the creek but didn't follow. We did wonder how they managed to deal with all the stickers and sharp rocks
