The track was measured at about fourteen inches long by eight inches wide with four toe marks and was seen extending about a hundred yards from north to south.

Possible tracks found in Jasper National Park
The witness was solo backpacking in the North Boundary area of Jasper National Park in 1987 or 1988. Near midday he found several very fresh, large human-like barefoot prints crossing the muddy trail at an angle from dense bush toward a bog. He estimated they were less than an hour old but took no photos and continued hiking, later concluding they may have been sasquatch tracks. He reported nothing else unusual for the rest of the trip.
