Witnesses saw creature running down a mountain.
Account
Two hikers stopped on a mountain trail and watched a hair-covered human-like figure standing on the summit in daylight. After several minutes it ran straight down the steep rocky face in about 90 seconds, moving faster than a person could and appearing taller than the treeline trees. The witnesses hiked to the summit, noted the terrain seemed impassable at that speed, and later heard a companion suggest the figure was a Sasquatch.
