Mountain runner spots large, deep footprints on Stuart Fork Trail in Trinity Alps

14 October 2003 4pm Trinity Center / Lewiston?, Trinity County, California 1 witness

Account

The witness was hiking and running on the Stuart Fork Trail where it enters Morris Meadows when he noticed about a dozen large footprints beside the trail. The prints were estimated at about 15 inches long and over four feet apart and appeared much deeper than nearby boot prints, with debris pressed into them. The witness photographed the prints but noted the trail gets heavy use, suggested a prank or overlapping boot prints as likely, and stated he does not believe in Bigfoot.
