Early evening sighting by two women hiking in Bailey

Two women on an evening hike heard a loud branch break and saw a large bipedal figure running parallel to them through the forest and down a hill.

Both described it as tall, bulky and covered in dark grey to black hair, concluding it matched a bigfoot and was not a human or common animal.
