The witness was hiking into Grove Creek Canyon in the afternoon when they saw a large reddish animal on the canyon rim about 100 feet above. The figure was described as about as tall as a large man and was looking east up the canyon for about five seconds. It then turned and walked out of view, and was not seen again during the rest of the hike.
