Top 5 Bigfoot Sightings in Washington State's Sasquatch Territory

Washington State's Top 5 Bigfoot Sightings: A Deep Dive into the Evergreen State's Cryptid Hotspots Hello, fellow Bigfoot enthusiasts! Today, we're diving into the latest video from Campfire Creepers, a YouTube channel that brings us stories stranger than fiction. This time, they've compiled Washington State's top five Bigfoot sightings from the past decade, and we can't wait to share the details with you! Washington State, the spiritual heart of Bigfoot country, is a land of cold mists, endless ridges, and deep timber forests where legends never fade. And the legend of Ape Canyon never dies. The canyon on the southeast shoulder of Mount St. Helens earned its name after a now famous 1924 account in which five miners claimed they were attacked overnight by a group of hairy ape-like creatures throwing rocks at their cabin. But what has Washington State produced for us lately? Well, it seems Washington never quits producing and remains one of the Bigfoot hot spots for our nation. Here are the top five Bigfoot sightings for Washington from the past decade in reverse order. Number five, May 2023, Olympic National Park, Ho Rainforest. Olympic National Park spans nearly a million acres of remote wilderness, old growth forest, alpine ridges, and temperate rainforest, drawing more than 2.5 million visitors annually. The Ho Rainforest, one of the wettest places in the US, is a moss-draped labyrinth of isolation and beauty. A Canadian couple hiking the Ho River Trail reported hearing slow, deliberate footsteps paralleling them for over a mile. Eventually, a shadowed figure crossed the trail behind them, tall, upright, and silent. When they turned with their phones, it had already vanished. Rangers confirmed multiple reports of strange vocalizations in that area during the same week. Number four, August 2020, Mount Reineer National Park, Carbon River entrance. Mount Reineer National Park draws over 2 million people annually to its glacial slopes, alpine lakes, and secluded valleys. The Carbon River area is one of its lesser used trail heads, dense, damp, and quiet. Two friends backpacking along the trail to Green Lake were stopped cold by a loud whooping paw echoing from the treetops, followed by something massive crashing through underbrush just out of view. They later discovered a line of prints measuring 18 inches long embedded in soft trail mud. Photographs were submitted to the BFRO, Bigfoot Field Researchers Organization, who marked the encounter as credible but inconclusive. Number three, November 2018, Kovville National Forest, Northeast Washington. Kleville spans over 1.1 million acres of coniferous forest, much of it undeveloped. Its remote ridgeel lines and river valleys see less than 500,000 annual visitors. And it's a known hot spot for both wildlife and unusual sightings. A hunter waiting in a blind near the Pender Rail River noticed an animal moving on two legs across a clearing 200 yards away. Through binoculars, he saw something dark, wide, and fluid. Not a bear, not a man. He watched it pause, sniff the air, then silently vanish into tree cover. That night, vocalizations echoed from across the riverbank. Low, mournful howls unlike anything he'd heard in decades of hunting. Number two, June 2017. Snowqualami National Forest, North Cascades. This region covers nearly 1.7 million acres of steep terrain, glacial valleys, and towering forest. The popular Denny Creek and Franklin Falls areas alone draw thousands of hikers every weekend. A pair of early morning hikers on the Malaqua Lake Trail noticed boulder-sized rocks moved across the trail overnight. Continuing up switchbacks, they spotted what they initially thought was a brown bear upright on its hind legs. But the proportions were wrong. Too tall, arms too long, head sunken forward. When the creature turned, it stepped behind trees and was gone. The hikers left the area immediately and reported it to the Forest Service, which filed no public statement. Number one, September 2015. Ape Canyon, Mount St. Helens Wilderness. Ape Canyon sits on the southeast slope of Mount St. Helens and is steeped in Bigfoot lore, named after a violent 1924 encounter between miners, and alleged apemen. The wilderness surrounding it remains wild and rugged, drawing experienced hikers, climbers, and curious cryptid hunters. A group of three amateur geologists hiking off the main trail near the canyon rim reported a loud crack like a tree snapping, followed by a thrown rock that landed unnervingly close. Peering across a ravine, they spotted a massive figure watching them from behind a mossy tree. One witness described it as built like a linebacker, but fur covered, dark brown, and perfectly still. When it stepped back into the woods, it did so without sound. They left the area immediately. The sighting drew quiet attention from regional researchers as it echoed past reports from the same location. A few weeks later, a solo hiker reported similar thrown rocks in the same canyon. The legacy of Ape Canyon, it seems, may be far from finished. Washington remains the undeniable capital of Sasquatch territory. For every report that surfaces, dozens more likely remain untold. Known only to those who turned around on the trail and never came back.
