28 July 2026 Lake City, Hinsdale County, Colorado Class A #81439

Daylight sighting by motorist along highway 149, ten miles SE of Lake City

The witness was riding as a passenger in a truck descending a mountain pass while looking for wildlife. A tall dark hairy figure emerged at the forest edge, turned uphill and walked along the treeline with a gliding gait for four to five steps until a road curve blocked the view. The witness was unable to speak at first, then asked the driver to stop, but the driver did not see the figure.

Close range road crossing sighting of a sasquatch by motorist at 1:45am July 5 next to Pachaug River 14 crow miles east of Norwich

The witness braked to avoid hitting it and watched it take three steps across the road into the woods on the left without stopping or looking. The witness then sat stunned for a minute or more before driving on.

Partial sighting near Shaver Lake

While driving her grandson to his summer job at the scout camp, the witness saw a figure standing motionless in a cleared area under power lines. She observed its right side as it faced south, noting reddish-brown hair, a small head, and long arms, with its feet hidden by grass. She drove slowly past and later returned to confirm no stump was present.
