Sasquatch sighting near Basalt, Colorado (2017)

November 2017 morning Basalt, Colorado 2 witnesses

Account

The guest and his father were bow hunting elk near Basalt in early November. After spotting distant elk, the guest noticed movement and saw a dark-haired face peering around an aspen about 60 yards away before it walked over a bench. Both were terrified and left for the truck without photographing or shooting, and later discussed whether it could have been Sasquatch.
