“Back in the late 1960s, there were so many reported sightings of Sasquatch, Bigfoot, Yeti or the Giant Hairy Ape in Skamania County, Washington, the county commissioners decided that an ordinance needed to be in place to protect the elusive creature and keep Bigfoot seekers from shooting a bearded elk hunter tramping around in the Gifford Pinchot National Forest. The law was originally passed in 1969, amended in 1984 and today harming Sasquatch within Skamania County’s borders could cost you one year of jail time and/or a $1000 fine.
You are, however, encouraged to “shoot” Bigfoot with a camera in Skamania County! We highly encourage folks to look for him (or her) while out enjoying the spectacular natural setting of this little bit of heaven in southwestern Washington. The following itinerary includes locations of previous Bigfoot encounters where you might catch a glimpse of a large, hairy being crossing a remote road. You are guaranteed a photo op if the real thing does indeed elude your grasp.”
