Why Bigfoot ??? ...
|
The community of North Bonneville chose the "Bigfoot Family" theme to create a low-impact and educational
tourist feature to attract visitors and to keep with the city's "small town character and natural setting".
-
"North Bonneville is located withing Skamania County which, due to its vast forests and rural nature, is one of the world's leading hot spots for 'sightings' and other Bigfoot activities. Bigfoot's relevance in this area led the county to pass an ordinance that made it a felony for the 'willful and wanton slaying of such creature'."

"The Family" ...
|
A hello from the Bigfoots!
We are Mama and Papa Bigfoot and this is our family. You may have also seen Great Elder Bigfoot at the town entrance. We have all moved here to North Bonneville from the surrounding Great Cascade Forests.
We are shy creatures, and we have hidden well in our forest homes for a long time. But we are here now because our children, the Littlefeet, are curious to learn about people. So after searching long and far, we have chosen this place called North Bonneville to settle. Things here remind us of our old forest home, and the people are so friendly and welcoming. We hope our Littlefeet will learn many things here and make lots of new friends.
There are more of our Littlefeet playing in this park. Follow our prints along the Discovery Trail ahead and you just may see a few of them in the rocks and trees!
Thank you for allowing us into your beautiful human community.

Eight "Littlefeet" can be found hiding along the "Bigfoot Discovery Trail". Follow the footprints to discover them.

"For thousands of seasons the Sasquatch lived within the great forests, but recent times have brought great challenges. Their hiding places have changed. Instinctively, many withdrew further into the woods hoping to live like olden times, but their children, the Littlefeet, imagined doing the opposite. They envisioned living amongst people. Littlefeet are not as timid as the older Sasquatches and have been eager to learn more about other living things, especially humans. This curiosity has led to many generations of Littlefeet trying to convince their elders to reveal themselves to people."
