October 19, 2026 - When the Stanislaus National Forest hosted its presentation on Bigfoot, the crowd was so large that many people had to be turned away. Organizers promised that a video would be made available — and **Access Tuolumne is happy to deliver!**

Did you know that Tuolumne County ranks second in California for reported Bigfoot sightings?

From mysterious encounters along Highway 108 to traditional Miwok stories about giants near Table Mountain and Columbia, our own backyard has a surprisingly rich history of Sasquatch lore.

In this fascinating presentation, Stanislaus National Forest staff explore historical newspaper accounts, alleged sightings, mysterious footprints, unusual recordings, and the cultural traditions surrounding Bigfoot. And don't miss the audience members who share their own extraordinary experiences in the Sierra Nevada!

Whether you're a believer, a skeptic, or just curious about our local history, this is an entertaining journey into one of the Sierra's most enduring mysteries.
