Where are the “squatchiest” places in America? Skamania County comes in first, located in southwest
Washington state. Its numerous hiking trails and Mt. St. Helens both increase human presence in
the wilderness, perhaps increasing sightings. Second ranked Humboldt County is home to
Redwood Nat’l Park, attracting hikers much like Skamania County. Number 3 contains
the Cascade Mountains and #4 has the Olympics. Tuolumne also
has an influx of tourists with Yosemite Nat’l Park.

grades, dense wet forest, or one big
hoax? Find a suitable
habitat and start
