I just received some photos (and a short report) of possible sasquatch tracks recently found by a hiker in Golden Ears Park near Alouette Lake. I will follow-up with the witness as soon as possible. Please feel free to post your thoughts and/or opinions on the possible sasquatch footprints below. Ken

Very hard to tell. Do the tracks come out and lead back into the woods? Or they follow the road? The shape of the print could be the melting snow effect. The stride looks as if it has a right distance(for a sasquatch), but it also looks quite narrow. For that I suspect that it could be the result of a jogger. cheers, seb

Nothing can be determined with 100 per cent certainty with what is seen here. Snow melt could be an explanation for the shape of each print, as well as the hour glass curves. If these are the prints left by a human than the person was running or joging. A walking human, the expanding tracks from snow melt would make then look like he was walking heel to toe. The distance between each step would only be the result of a man or woman running or jogging. The other possibility is that this is indeed the track line of a sasquatch which had steped out onto the road. travelled along for a bit untill it decided to re entre the trees. do we know if this track line was seen coming out of the trees than going back in? If so than a sasquatch is a possibility. If this track line remained on the road all the way too the park gates and beyond or to a parking lot somewhere, than they belong to a fit human doing a good job remaining a fit human.

Just got off the phone with Thomas and I'm happy to say he is alive and well. Thomas said that he did not get our e-mails, Gerry. In any case, I had a long and very interesting conversation with the witness that submitted the photos of the possible sasquatch footprints he found in the snow early a couple of mornings ago on the road near Alouette Lake. He also sent me many more photos. One was a photo where it appeared the maker of the tracks left the road and went into the thick bush. I'll include the photo below: Ken

Now, it looks more promising. I say a field trip is needed.

I absolutely agree. Someone needs to get out there ASAP to see if there are any tracks in the bush by the side of the road where it is supposed to have stepped off.
It is going to snow tomorrow so if anyone can get up there in the early A.M. it would be optimum.
Ken, where exactly is the location?

It would be good if someone measures the distance between the tracks too. There is nothing to scale this by.

The problem is that the tracks would not be there anymore. I suspect that the tracks would be melted by the sun later that afternoon. Now I think that it will be good to obtain these info: 1. The time of day those photos taken (to see if the sunlight is strong actually melted the edges of the tracks). 2. The weather record for that day (when it was snowing) 3. The exact location. Particularly the location where the track-maker appeared heading back into the bush. This will help to determine if anything large passed by.

There is a boot print in the lower left of the first picture. If it is the photographer's then you can get his boot size and measure it, and then estimate the distance from one track to the next.
The tracks themselves don't look that large by comparison to the boot track, and I do seem to get the impression of toe prints. If there is anything that is remarkable about the prints it is the length of the stride. They are much longer than that of a person jogging or even running, unless that person was remarkably tall. Again, the key would be to get an estimate of the length of the stride and compare.
I also see some dog-type prints going alongside the prints. Did the photographer have a dog, or did the original walker, or did something walk beside them between the two events?
The photographer also has higher resolution photos which would be useful to look at linked from somewhere else.
I agree it would be great to have someone go out there to look around for hair, nesting sites, more and fresher tracks, maybe even, if luck is with them, a sighting.
And be careful, the weather's warming up and our woodland folk (of whatever species) are beginning to roam around, very hungry. Including bears.

Here's more information from Randy the witness and person who photographed the footprints in the snow on the morning of February 27:
Hi Ken,
Well I'm a little nervous about going in those hills and mountains alone again like I use to. Mostly always go by myself, sometimes with my friend and his dog. Don't think I'll take my son very far in there anymore. Those tracks on the road were 60 inches apart exactly, but just less than 14 inches long, and 6 inches wide. I think they went in the bush where that pic I sent you. I seen some tracks in the dirt that looked like it went in there. If you want to go in there and look around if your free let me know. I can go in anytime, and I might go in on sat or sun. I guess I have sasquatch fever now that I believe in them. My wife thinks I'm nuts; she's laughing right now. I know those mountains good, so I'm sure I can find more stuff on those sasquatch now that I know more about them.
Randy

Excellent observations, vilnoori! And you are SO right about the medium size of the footprints but the extremely long stride. Yes, the photographer has a dog with him at the time. Ken has followed up with some more info. Your observations almost match the discription by the photographer.

I was looking around online and the only non-sasquatch animal that could cause that kind of track is a galloping cougar. The front and back tracks could line up just like that, and the toes would be distinct too (although there'd be just 4 front toes showing). The size about fits, too. So, again, be careful if you guys go out there. Should be interesting, though. Take more pics for me, please, I have to stay here and make a birthday party!
