Hiker photographs track on trail in Hoh River rainforest, on the Olympic Peninsula
Account
The witness and his wife were hiking a busy trail in the Hoh rainforest in daylight when they found a bare human-like footprint. The witness photographed the print with his boot for scale and later described it as about 11-12 inches long with squared-off toes. He initially dismissed it because of heavy trail traffic but submitted it years later after seeing a similar track report.
