A Colorado woman says she saw a huge, dark-haired figure walking along the tree line above Slumgullion Pass in the San Juan Mountains, and she has reported it to BFRO.
Lori Bowling of Lake City says it happened at 3:41 p.m. on July 28 while she and her husband were driving down Colorado Highway 149. She describes a figure she puts at 7 to 9 feet tall, covered in blackish-brown hair, with long arms and a head that seemed to sit directly on its shoulders. It walked uphill with what she called a gliding gait for several steps before a curve in the road hid it. Her husband was driving and didn’t see it. Bowling says she was not a believer before that day.
Colorado Parks and Wildlife told Cowboy State Daily its best guess is a sheep herder moving animals through the high country at the time, and that the agency never received a direct report. Trail cameras the local game warden sets out every fall have never picked up anything resembling a Sasquatch. As with most reports, there is no independently verified physical evidence.
