2025 Washington (Area #2) Bigfoot Expedition

August 21 (Thurs) - 24 (Sun)

BFRO organizers bring participants to areas where they will have encounters with Bigfoots at night. The odds of success depend on their selection of locations, among other things. Selecting the best locations depends upon sighting/encounter information -- the more, the better -- so the BFRO selects organizers who have the most information in a given state, and who have experience organizing trips there.

Investigators James Washburn and Nick Bell will be leading this expedition in Washington. The remote location identified for this trip cannot be reached by vehicle. Unlike most BFRO expeditions, this one involves backpacking to the basecamp. When you are interviewed by the organizers to get approval to attend, they will make sure you are adequately equipped as a backpacker.

There is a seasonal pattern to Sasquatch locations in the Cascades. In summer they can be found in the higher elevations where many other animals such as deer and bears tend to gather for alpine foraging.

Several members of the BFRO attend every expedition in Washington. Most of them have had encounters with sasquatches during these trips.

To register for this expedition please send an email to Expedition@BFRO.net after you have read the Frequently Asked Questions about the expeditions.

These devices are not required to attend a BFRO expedition in Washington, but we now encourages all attendees of these expeditions to have at least one (ideally all three) of these types of optical devices. They are very helpful on trips like these, and you can use them in many other contexts.

1) Small daylight video camera with 50x *optical* zoom -- basically a small telescope that records video. ($400)

2) Small thermal camera with 4x zoom for use at night. (BFRO brand = $1000)

3) Small daylight drone with excellent zoom camera. (DJI Air 3 = $1,550).

Among these three items, the one you will find most helpful in a bigfoot area is a thermal camera. Without this type of device it is unlikely that you will spot and record any animals in the dark.

The BFRO sells high-resolution (384 lines) thermal cameras for much lower than retail price, because we want as many people as possible to afford them. See BFRO homepage for more info about those cameras. Click on thermal image of the guy with a dog.

You will not regret owning one of those devices. A good thermal video camera is MUCH more useful for squatching than the best nightvision video camera.
