Hiker sees, attempts to photograph a sasquatch in the Columbia Gorge

While hiking alone and descending a dry trail, the witness heard a loud crashing nearby and saw a large black ape-like animal running uphill, visible from the waist up. The animal tripped, caught itself, showed its face in profile, then disappeared while a fallen tree rocked and a possible face was glimpsed. The witness photographed the area, heard and saw nothing further, found no other tracks, and later found possible scat in the direction the animal headed.

One eight-footer and one three-footer seen by witness

The witness was camping with companions on a multi-day hike and looked out of a tent early in the morning to see two hair-covered figures in vegetation about seventy feet away. The larger figure reached toward branches while the smaller handled a stick, then the larger vocalized, took the smaller's hand, and both left behind trees. The companions did not see the figures, and the witness later mentioned the sighting to a ranger while leaving the area.

Vocalizations heard; hairy bipedal creature observed

Four men hiked up a mountain at night intending to camp on the summit. While resting about two-thirds of the way up at about 2:20 a.m., they heard two long loud screams from the ridge above followed by a powerful growl. Terrified, they ran down the mountain to the highway and went home.
