High in Colorado’s rugged San Juan Mountains, hikers, hunters, and even seasoned locals have reported encounters with something they can’t quite explain—massive footprints, eerie calls in the night, and shadowy figures moving just out of sight. Could it be Colorado’s own Bigfoot?

In this episode of Mile High Mysteries, we dig into eyewitness reports, local legends, and even newspaper clippings that hint at a creature stalking the alpine forests. From campers who swear they were watched all night to miners who recorded giant tracks in the snow, the San Juans hold more than just breathtaking views—they may hide something primal, wild, and unknown.

So, was it Bigfoot… or just the mountain air playing tricks? Either way, you might think twice about wandering the woods alone after dark.
