A group of Bigfoot researchers, including narrator Cliff and investigator Mark Mercel, embark on a hike to the historic Ape Canyon site on Mount St. Helens, the location of a famous 1924 Sasquatch encounter where miners reported being attacked by ape-like creatures. The video documents their challenging trek through old growth forest and across the volcanic landscape, eventually attempting to descend into the canyon to reach the abandoned cabin site. Along the way, they discuss the history of the incident, the dangerous terrain, and the possibility that Sasquatches still inhabit the area, noting the abundance of mountain goats as a potential food source.
