Motorists see tall, hairy human-like figure wading across the Colorado River east of Glenwood Springs

Four people driving west on the interstate in daylight noticed a tall, thin, dark hair-covered biped in the Colorado River. The figure leaned slightly forward and swung long arms as it walked across the shallow water toward the highway. They lost sight after only a few seconds at highway speed with no place to stop.

Characteristic vocalization heard by hunter on Hayden Mountain

The witness and a companion were archery hunting in high-elevation basins in western Colorado when they heard a single, extremely loud scream lasting several seconds from the direction of their camp. They initially attributed the sound to a mountain lion, but acquaintances who hunt mountain lions did not recognize the described sound. Years later, after hearing a purported Bigfoot vocalization on television, the witness reconsidered the 1996 incident as possibly Bigfoot-related.

Campers have daylight sighting near Leadville

The witness was camping with family and climbed a hill with cousins, rolling rocks from the top. They heard crashing in aspens across a ravine and saw a tall, long-haired figure standing on two legs about 300 feet away watching them for several minutes. After watching it rock back and forth, the group ran back down the hill. The witness maintains decades later that it was not a bear.
