Class B First-hand BFRO #11595

Possible daylight sighting by hikers on the Stanley Glacier Trail (BC/Alberta border)

May 1991 around 3-4 PM Lake Louise, British Columbia 6 witnesses

Account

A group of six hiked down a mountain trail in the afternoon. A hair-covered biped crossed the trail between the lead hiker and the next person and leapt down an embankment into trees. The party glimpsed movement and heard crashing as a dog chased it, then watched a distant burnt tree sway with creaking before falling. Believing the creature pushed the tree over, the group left quickly.
