Two people driving over a mountain pass in daylight saw a large hairy biped running diagonally up a hillside toward forest cover. The figure was described as broad, at least seven feet tall, with dark brownish hair, moving fast on two legs with long strides and using an arm to pull on trees. After losing sight of it, they stopped at a creek crossing a mile or two away and felt watched for about an hour before leaving.

Hiker has a possible daytime sighting near Crater Lake

The witness was hiking a mountain trail with three children who had run ahead. He noticed a large upright hairy figure moving behind the treeline about 50 to 100 yards away, watching it for less than a minute as it moved through brush and woods. He did not alert the children at the time and did not photograph it. About a year later after seeing a television program about similar sightings in the area, he decided to share the experience.
