Account

The witness and companions were hiking in the Hoh Rainforest when they found a large footprint in mud. The witness compared it to his own boot, noting it was slightly longer and much deeper than a hard stomp he made. A second, smaller partial print was found farther along the trail. The witness photographed the clearer track for scale.
