Our team is heading back into the field this weekend, and we want to invite the local community to join us for an open Town Hall meeting on Saturday, April 25, 2026, in Carson, Washington.
 

This gathering gives us a chance to share the latest from our ongoing research, answer questions, discuss recent reports from the Columbia River Gorge and Gifford Pinchot National Forest area, and hear directly from residents and outdoors enthusiasts who have experienced something unusual in these woods.

Whether you've seen strange tracks, heard unexplained vocalizations, or simply want to learn more about our fact-based approach to documenting sasquatch activity alongside our work with the Pacific Northwest Missing Persons Project, we welcome you to come out and meet the team in person.

 

Location and exact time details will be posted on our social media channels and website closer to the date—keep an eye on Facebook, Instagram, or our homepage for updates. No registration is required; just show up, grab a seat, and be part of the conversation. These town halls have proven valuable in the past for gathering new leads and connecting with people who know these forests best.
 

Returning to the Site of Last Year’s Discovery

Exactly one year after our significant find, we are also returning to the same remote stretch of the Little White Salmon River near the junction with Berry Creek in the Gifford Pinchot National Forest—where, on the morning of April 26, 2025, we located and cast that solitary 13.5-inch humanoid footprint.
 

Timing matters in this work. By revisiting the area in the same seasonal window—late April, when the riverbanks are still soft from spring rains and wildlife movement (including elk herds with calves) increases—we hope to observe patterns that might otherwise go unnoticed. Last year’s discovery came after a night of unusual sounds: off-sounding owl hoots that seemed like mimics, and a deep, guttural rumble carrying far through the trees. The fresh track ran parallel to clear elk sign, suggesting something large and bipedal had moved through the same corridor at roughly the same time.

Nature operates on cycles. Returning now allows us to compare conditions, check for new impressions in similar substrates, and listen again during the same transitional period between winter and full spring. It’s a methodical way to build on last year’s evidence rather than treating it as a one-off event.
 

Expeditions themselves remain closed to the public for safety and research integrity, but the Town Hall is your opportunity to connect with us directly. We value every firsthand account and local insight—it all adds to the larger body of data we’re carefully compiling across Oregon, Washington, Idaho, and Montana.

If you’re in the Carson or broader Columbia Gorge area on April 25th, we hope to see you there. Bring your questions, your stories, or just your curiosity. Together, through respectful, evidence-focused effort, we continue piecing together what moves through these wild places.
 

Mark your calendar: Town Hall – Carson, Washington – Saturday, April 25, 2026 at 5:30PM.

Track Located - Little White Salmon River - Willard, WA - April 2025

In April of 2025, while camping along the Little White Salmon River, north of Willard, Washington our team came across a strange sight. Clear toe impressions stamped into the muddy and rocky banks of the Little White Salmon River. Our team, proceeded to cast the print and bring it to our headquarters for further analysis. 

This is the first track we have located in the five years of our investigations into reported sightings and sasquatch activity. We are currently waiting for track experts to review the cast and let us know exactly what it could be. Further updates will become available as more information comes into our team.

PNW Bigfoot Search Embarks on 5-Year Anniversary Expedition in Gifford Pinchot National Forest

July 2025 marks a major milestone for Pacific Northwest Bigfoot Search — five years since the incident that sparked our founding and lifelong commitment to uncovering the truth about Sasquatch.
 

To commemorate this anniversary, our team — including Kelly, Tanner, and our honorary “Little Foot” Rowan — will be conducting a week-long expedition deep in the heart of the Gifford Pinchot National Forest, stretching from Forlorn Lakes to the base of Mount St. Helens.

This backcountry mission will focus on:
 

  • Thermal imaging operations
     

  • Vocalization blasting
     

  • Tracking and documenting potential signs of Sasquatch activity
     

Our goal is to honor our roots while pushing forward in the search for answers. The Gifford Pinchot region has long been a hotspot for sightings and unexplained phenomena — making it the perfect location for this important expedition.
 

Stay tuned:
We’ll be uploading exclusive footage from the trip to our YouTube channel in the weeks following our return. Be sure to subscribe so you don’t miss behind-the-scenes moments, evidence breakdowns, and backwoods encounters from our time in the field.

Here’s to five years of boots on the ground, and to the next chapter in the search for the truth.

After careful consideration, our teams at Pacific Northwest Bigfoot Search and the Pacific Northwest Missing Persons Project will not be attending BeachFoot this year.
 

While we won’t be participating, we remain focused on our mission and deeply grateful for the continued support of our community, volunteers, and partners.
 

We are committed to approaching everything we do with professionalism, compassion, and integrity—and that commitment will always guide our decisions.
 

We wish all attendees a safe and meaningful experience.
