October 1977 Camas County, Idaho Class A #2061

In the Sawtooth Nat'l Forest, three forestry workers spot a eight to nine foot tall figure walking on 2 legs across a clearing located about 150 yards upslope

The witness was driving with two coworkers on a road below a clearing when all three saw a bipedal figure cross the clearing about 150 yards upslope. The witness estimated the figure was at least 8 to 9 feet tall and crossed at least 150 yards in 20 seconds at a leisurely pace. The coworkers thought it was a man in dark clothing, but the witness disagreed. A later visit to the clearing found no tracks because the ground was too grassy.
