Bigfoot Investigator Finds Fresh Tracks and Tree Break Evidence

There's something about ridge-line investigations that always gets the heart pumping a little faster, and a recent upload from the Cascade Mountains Sasquatch channel delivers exactly that kind of fieldwork energy. The researcher heads back to a spot explored previously, venturing into what they describe as a new area, and what unfolds is a methodical, boots-on-the-ground search that turns up some genuinely compelling evidence. The trail work begins with the classic approach—scanning for tracks and stick signs—and it doesn't take long before the first prints appear. What looks like a pair of 13-inch prints going up a steep embankment catches the eye, with roughly a 24-inch stride between them. For anyone familiar with footprint analysis, that stride-to-length ratio is worth paying attention to. A 24-inch stride on a 13-inch foot suggests a longer-legged subject, and when you factor in the steep terrain, the actual walking surface stride could be even more telling. Moving up the ridge, the finds keep coming. A possible 13-inch print with an elk track stepping right into it, and what might be a larger 15-inch print nearby. The terrain is muddy, rain-soaked, and messy—hard conditions for track preservation—but the impressions that survived are doing some talking. At the top of the lower ridge, the investigator reaches a flat area and continues the search. This is where things get really interesting. A print that shows what appears to be a mid-tarsal break—that distinctive feature where the foot seems to flex in the middle, leaving a split or smeared impression—is spotted. Mid-tarsal breaks are one of those anatomical details that come up frequently in credible Sasquatch track reports. The mid-tarsal joint, present in some primates but absent in modern humans, allows for that characteristic flexibility in the foot that can leave unusual pressure patterns in soft substrate. Finding potential evidence of this in the field is the kind of thing that makes researchers pull out their cameras and take a second look. More prints follow—possible 12 to 13-inch impressions with a 56-inch stride. That stride measurement is significant. A 56-inch stride on a 12 to 13-inch foot is well beyond what a human of average height would produce, and it lines up with reported locomotion patterns often described by witnesses. But the track evidence isn't the only thing raising eyebrows in this footage. The ridge is loaded with twisted, gnarled tree growth, and the investigator takes time to examine several leaners and breaks. One particular tree snap stands out—a clean break that doesn't appear to match the surrounding damage pattern. The investigator notes that when looking for tree breaks, context matters. A tree snapped cleanly while neighboring trees show different damage patterns suggests something specific happened to that one tree. The reasoning laid out in the video is solid: if the surrounding trees fell a certain way, how did this particular tree end up snapped in a way that doesn't fit the pattern? The investigator's reaction at the end says it all—"never seen anything like that." That moment of genuine surprise from someone who spends serious time in the field is worth noting. Researchers don't throw those words around lightly. For anyone interested in ridge-line ecology and Sasquatch habitat, this kind of terrain is prime real estate. Elevated travel corridors, game trails converging, and the kind of thick, twisted vegetation that provides cover all make ridges attractive areas for a large, reclusive subject to move through. The combination of track evidence, stride measurements, possible mid-tarsal break indicators, and anomalous tree breaks makes this a solid piece of fieldwork documentation. Definitely worth pulling up the video and watching the full investigation unfold. The kind of careful, on-the-ground searching that serious researchers put in is always a good reminder of how much work goes into every potential piece of evidence.
