Description
Bigfoot, and other cryptids like it, are found in the stories of cultures around the world. But on a long trail in northwestern California, hikers swear they’ve spotted the real thing! In this book, readers head into the wild to learn about the story of Bigfoot, for whom the trail is named, and also learn about the area of the United States that the trail is in as well as about some other creatures like the blood-sucking lamprey! This book, written in accessible language, engages readers’ imaginations as well as supports social studies curricula.

This book reminds me of the “new true book” series from the 80s-90s which I LOVED when I was little. I still try to find them to this day!
This book was intriguing and the perfect length for young curious minds.
I definitely recommend it.

This series is well organized and the text and photographs and illustrations keep the reader engaged. Bigfoot has always been a fascinating topic, but this book focuses mostly on what it’s like to hike the “Bigfoot Trail” in Northern California. I look forward to enjoying other titles in this well done series for young readers.

This little book about Bigfoot is actually about the Bigfoot Trail, the area in California where spottings of the famed cryptid have allegedly taken place. The writer has done a great job of blending Bigfoot facts (is this a contradiction in terms?!) with hiking trail information and descriptions.
So, one fact is that whether or not you spot Bigfoot, you may well need to watch out for a whole range of other creatures, including mountain lions, wolverines and black bears!
It also was interesting to hear that while the Eel River does not contain eels, it does contain lampreys. I had heard of these before, but was not aware of their vampiric characteristic of drawing blood from other fish.
And did you know that somebody actually built a Bigfoot Trap in 1974?
This book is well worth a read for anyone interested in someday hiking the Bigfoot Trail, hunting for mythical (or possibly real) creatures, or just ready to enjoy some really interesting wildlife and outdoors information.
NOTE: My one request would be for the author or editor to please immediately remove the term "American Indian" and replace it with "Native American". It is important that children learn the correct term early on instead of having to re-learn it later. Many thanks!
