Daylight sighting by Reno police officer and two friends on Boundary Peak Mtn

While waiting on a narrow high-elevation trail for other climbers to pass, the witness and four companions watched a hair-covered biped move rapidly across a steep shale bowl toward vegetation. The creature alternated between running upright and moving on all fours over boulders. After about two minutes it disappeared into dense vegetation and was not approached due to climbing conditions.

Two security guards see a creature outside of Gold Hill

Three boys encounter sasquatch in eroded terrain

The witness, then 12, was exploring a desert wash area with two juvenile companions when they encountered a very tall dark figure near the wash rim. The figure stood facing them for under a minute, then stepped into the wash and walked away out of sight. The group afterwards searched the wash but found no campsite, only an arrangement of brush in and against the wash wall.
