**Tragic Search for Sasquatch Ends in Deaths of Two Explorers**

Two Oregon men perish in frigid conditions during a Sasquatch expedition in Washington's Gifford Pinchot National Forest.


A deep dive into the circumstances surrounding their deaths, the Sasquatch legend, and community safety laws.

In a tragic incident, two men from Portland, Oregon, were found dead in a remote section of Gifford Pinchot National Forest while searching for Sasquatch, a creature deeply embedded in the folklore of the Pacific Northwest. The Skamania County Sheriff's Office confirmed that the bodies were discovered after a three-day search began on Christmas Day, prompted by a family member’s concern over their failure to return from the trip.

The sheriff's office described the search as "grueling," involving over 60 volunteers, aircraft, drones, and K-9 teams, all working diligently in harsh weather conditions that included snow, freezing rain, and sub-zero temperatures. The deaths are attributed to exposure due to these extreme conditions and the men’s apparent lack of preparedness for the perilous environment.

Authorities located the victims’ car in the town of Willard, leading to intensified search operations in that vicinity, ultimately uncovering their bodies. The victims, aged 37 and 59, have not yet been publicly named. High water levels in rivers and fallen trees complicated rescue efforts, highlighting the danger of wilderness exploration during severe weather.

The lore of Sasquatch, often referred to as Bigfoot, has captivated the imagination of many, with numerous reported sightings in the region. Communities in Skamania County have even enacted protective laws for the mythical creature—harming a Sasquatch could result in a hefty $1,000 fine or up to a year in prison. This unusual legislation, passed in 1969, was aimed at safeguarding both the legendary creature and unsuspecting hunters with bushy beards.

Despite the mystery and intrigue surrounding Sasquatch, this tragedy serves as a sobering reminder of the potential dangers when venturing into the wilderness, especially during extreme weather conditions.
