Class B First-hand BFRO #4947

Man sees unusual stacked rocks in Yosemite

August 1992 hot sunny midday Yosemite Village, Mariposa County, California 1 witness

Account

The witness was running alone across a remote talus slope in Yosemite National Park. He found pits where large angular granite blocks had been lifted out and stacked in neat piles several feet high. He examined the feature only briefly and saw no animal, but thought of Sasquatch rock-stacking accounts he had read as a child.
