Possible vocalizations on Little Si Trail outside North Bend
Two people hiking in the morning heard a repeated loud alarm-like holler ending each time in a strange ape- and human-like vocalization. The witness imitated the sound a few times, and both listeners concluded it could not be human or a wolf/coyote due to lung capacity and lip-like articulation. Believing the source sounded closer and could be a large unknown animal, they ran back to the car without seeing anyone else on the trail.
