Account

While driving out of Yellowstone and scanning the mountainside for bighorn sheep, the witness noticed a tall, hairy, upright figure walking beside a triangular snow patch near the top. The figure took a few large strides across rocky terrain and stopped above a grassy area. The witness's son saw the same figure at the same time.
