21 April 2000 Gypsum, Eagle County, Colorado Class A #1355

BFRO Investigator, Keith Foster's evaluation of tracks found on the south shore of the Eagle River. App. 1 mile east of the town of Eagle.

The witness reported finding three large human-like footprints while fly fishing on the south shore of a river east of town. The prints were documented with photographs and tape measurements, including one about 18 to 19 inches long with a 38-inch step to the next print. The investigator stated that bear, human, and hoax explanations were ruled out by visual examination and estimated a very heavy animal from depth and area.

4 August 1998 Conejos County, Colorado Class A #1350

Report of a field investigation over several days

Three researchers camped in a remote timbered drainage in early August 1998 to study suspected sasquatch activity. Over two afternoons they heard loud primate-like calls and screams around camp, and during two nights they heard conversational vocalizations, rhythmic rock-clicking, and stealthy footfalls that alarmed horses. They also detected red eyeshine and later found a fresh animal bed overlooking the camp. They left early, concluding no conclusive evidence was obtained but the area warranted further investigation.

April 1998 Fremont County, Colorado Class A #1361

Twenty-two inch tracks found

The witness reports discovering four large, bare human-like footprints with five toes that followed a deer path down a hill and crossed a dirt road. The tracks in soft ground sank 2 to 3 inches, while those on the hard road left only dirt in foot shape. The witness measured the tracks at 22 inches long with an eight-foot spacing and tried to follow them but was stopped by rocks.

Multiple Tracks Found at Florissant Fossil Beds National Monument

The witness arrived early to hike a park nature trail after overnight rain and found elk tracks on the muddy path. On top of the elk tracks was a set of much larger barefoot human-like prints continuing in the same direction for dozens of feet. No other visitors had been on the trail, and the witness asked a ranger about the prints after looping back.

large human-like tracks were found in the snow and mud.

The witness was accompanying a friend on an elk hunt and walking along a creek in a saddle when they noticed a very large human-like footprint in melting snow. After studying the unclear single print and showing it to the friend, who noted faint toes, they continued down the creek. About 100 yards away they found six or seven more similar large prints in snow and mud with three to five toes visible.

Two hunters recount late morning sighting near Hotchkiss

While hunting deer, the witness and companions stopped on a road overlooking a slope and watched several upright jet-black creatures for several minutes with the naked eye and optics. Two larger individuals were first seen in the open, then smaller individuals about half their size emerged from a draw. The creatures moved into brush as a pickup passed on a road below, and the witnesses later found only sliding marks in loose dirt on the steep hillside.

Various sightings by campers and ranchers along Lake Fork, a tributary of the Conejos River.

In early June 1994 the witness was fishing with two young companions at a beaver pond when an extremely loud gravelly two-toned scream was heard three times from a forested slope about 150 to 200 yards away. The witness judged the sound was not an elk or bear and left the area because the group was unarmed. The next morning the witness returned alone and found a line of very old large tracks but no definitive sign of the source.

April 1989 Silverton CO., San Juan County, Colorado Class A #15630

Miner reports pre-dawn road crossing near Silverton

The witness was driving alone to work before dawn when headlights illuminated a tall upright figure descending an embankment and crossing the highway. The figure paused briefly in front of a warning sign, looked toward the vehicle, then went over the opposite embankment out of view. The witness slowed briefly then left in fear and later returned in daylight to find large indentations descending the embankment.

Sasquatch sighting near Telluride, Colorado (1988)

The witness stopped in a boggy area after sundown to fill a canteen while bow hunting. He noticed a dark shaggy huddled shape nearby that later disappeared, then found small human-like tracks in mud and encountered a strong musky odor. The next morning he found space behind a boulder where something could have hidden. Looking back years later he interpreted the shape as several primates huddled together.

October 1986 Teller County, Colorado Class B #1375

fresh set of tracks found in the snow.

Three people in two pickups crested a hill at dawn and noticed a fresh set of large tracks looping across an open hillside in new snow. A relative glassed the area with binoculars, became visibly upset, and said he thought he had seen bigfoot. The group did not approach the tracks or the area and avoided it altogether. The account was relayed secondhand by a close friend of one of the men.

Sasquatch sighting near Conejos County (1984)

The witness was scouting high-elevation timber for a later elk hunt when he noticed tree breaks, pushovers and tracks. From boulders he glassed about eight hairy bipeds with young, watching them for about half an hour as some appeared to hide at a choke point while others circled. He concluded they were hunting deer and left with his companion before dark.

Vocalization in Colorado (1980)

In the early 80s the father camped alone at a secluded bow camp and heard something large walk in talking gibberish like a drunk man and root through camp. It circled the tent and pressed a finger down on the canvas, leaving a half-moon cut, then left toward a second babbling voice on the hill. On a later return visit a green aspen blocked the road with no wind and structures were noted.

Winter 1980 El Paso County, Colorado Class A #1360

Campers report finding large footprints in the snow

In the late 1970s the witness and a companion were winter camping near Colorado Springs and went exploring on a sunny morning after breakfast. They found very large human-like footprints in deep snow and followed them for a short distance. They stopped where the snow became too deep to continue, while the tracks continued upslope without breaking stride. They later told friends and family but did not discuss it further after meeting disbelief.

Summer 1971 Larimer County, Colorado Class A #513

Future doctor sees giant tracks high in Rawah wilderness

In summer 1971 the witness and two companions found about a dozen very large human-like footprints crossing remaining snow patches in a high alpine meadow in a Colorado wilderness area. The prints were described as well-detailed, much larger than a large human foot with a stride of four feet or more, and were judged not to be bear tracks, with no prints visible on firm ground between snow patches. The witness noted possible enlargement by summer melt and refreeze and considered a hoax unlikely due to remoteness, and left the area frightened.

Hunters have an encounter returning from hunt

Three elk hunters walking back toward camp heard a loud crash and chased what they assumed was a bull elk to the rim of a deep, steep-sided canyon. From across the canyon the reporter watched through a rifle scope as a tall, black-haired biped ran up the opposite slope on two feet and briefly turned to show its face in profile before entering the trees. The group chose not to pursue closely, later backtracked the trail toward the highway, and examined broken vegetation and footprints the following day.

Sasquatch sighting in Colorado

The witness and his cousin went out to camp and target shoot in a remote snowy clearing. After a rock strike and foul odor, they entered the woods at dark and saw a large hairy upright creature showing teeth while others vocalized around them. They fired weapons while retreating to snowmobiles, the cousin ran for the truck, and the witness held position firing for an extended period before they escaped in the truck. The cousin later found the abandoned snowmobiles torn apart.
