Sol Duc River

The Queets, I mean, all those different rainforest valleys there, uh, are gonna have old growth.

And likewise, the Sol Duc Valley.

Now most people who go to the Sol Duc, they go to the Sol Duc, Sol Duc Falls.

Um, but if you skip the falls or just go to the fall and then keep going up the Sol Duc Valley, it's a long hike up that valley before you get to the high divide, but it's nothing but amazing trees, old growth trees.

Uh, Teddy Roosevelt pulled them off the, the chopping block as a national monument, and then FDR sealed the deal in '38.

So those trees have been protected, and with such a large track.

Grab your favorite drink, settle into your chair, and prepare yourself for another night of scary Bigfoot encounters.

[mysterious music] In May 2018, a recreational fisherman experienced a startling and aggressive encounter along the Sol Duc River near Forks, Washington.

What began as a peaceful afternoon of fishing turned into a direct confrontation with a massive upright creature that emerged from the tree line and seized a freshly caught fish from the shoreline before retreating into the forest.

The witness provided a detailed account that describes the setting, sequence of events, and clear visual contact with what he identified as a Bigfoot.

The witness, a 38-year-old resident of Port Angeles, had been fishing the Sol Duc River for steelhead since his teenage years.

He often fished alone, preferring the quieter stretches of the river outside of tourist season.

On this particular day, the weather was ideal for fishing, cool and overcast, with breaks of sunlight filtering through a high canopy.
