Footprints from a listener

Hi Wes,

Thanks for the excellent website dedicated to all things Sasquatch. I particularly enjoy the stories from Washington as I am from there do a lot of hiking in the Cascades. I guess I am one of the crazy ones who still goes out hiking all the time despite knowing these details.

I stumbled upon some interesting footprints in January of 2014. I haven’t got around to sharing them much,mostly due to people greeting such topics in a pretty immature fashion.

On that day I was hiking along the closed section of Highway 20/ North Cascades Highway to capture some roadside landscape photos. On heavier snow years the road would have more snow, but at the time there was just a thin layer of ice. I had seen some old snowshoe prints a mile or so back heading up the road along with some smaller animal tracks along the side of the road. The ice was pretty solid at this point, so my steps weren’t creating much of an impression at the time. Then out of nowhere on a pretty solid stretch of ice I saw the photographed prints extending across the road. I used some items for scale. My shoe size is fairly large at size 12 and those footprints clearly dwarf them. I have tried to explain them with every conventional explanation, e.g.: upright bear, trickster creating the impressions in the snow. When considering the length,linear nature and accuracy of stride and the size/detail/accuracy of impression it leaves me stumped as to what it could be besides a Sasquatch. I searched briefly along the side of the road to see if there were any indications of a path through the woods, but I couldn’t find much of anything. The prints could have been made a few days before I was there. and the terrain is pretty steep on both sides, making investigating around there kind of challenging.

    Not sure why, but these struck me as odd. Then I realized it is because of Wes and this damn show, lol. I have seen a few trackways when I lived in Washington, and this is fairly average for them.

    What struck me as odd now is the fact they appear to only be ONE animal, and I have gotten so used to this show talking about groups of animals that it seemed weird at first that there was only one set of tracks.

    Dang it, Wes is changing my outlook about these things!!! I’ve been corrupted!!

    WOW..I wonder what the whole situation was that caused them to be there. I mean, was that an area that after the sun warmed it up, did the ice get soft. Then after the animal went through making the prints it got solid again? Was that it for ice and snow coverage for the year, up till then anyway? I think I would just about soil myself if I were on my own and came upon a track way such as this one. Good job, that is a great find.

    Why anyone can clearly see that those are bear tracks! 😉
    Lol,@Janetta V.
    Seriously,Very good photos,and a good job using items to give scale. They look a few days old to me,but I think that I would avoid the area.

    Yup Bear tracks. NOT. I agree 60″ to 72 ” stride. Six prints to cover a modern two lane road with a breakdown lane. Stride could even be larger. Great pic’s. Thanks for sharing.

    Awesome tracks & excellent photography work….every angle covered with scale offered is perfect. Made my heart race and had a desire to look over my shoulder & get-outta-Dodge….don’t remember seeing a better capture of BF prints. Thanks for sharing. Stay Safe!

    Definitely appear to be the real deal. They are either real or a hoax, no other explanation. It does seem odd that some of the sequential tracks seem to be arched in the same direction….guess Bigfoot isn’t much of a dancer, he has two left feet! lol I couldn’t resist. 🙂
