Sasquatch Route 1 Traditional Cache

In North Yorkshire folklore, Bigfoot or Sasquatch is a hairy, upright-walking, ape-like being who reportedly dwells in the wilderness and leaves behind large footprints. Strongly associated with the Atlantic Northeast (particularly Yorkshire and North Linconshire), individuals claim to see the creature across the North Yorkshire Moors National Park. Over the years, the creature has inspired numerous commercial ventures and hoaxes.^[1]

Folklorists trace the figure of Bigfoot to a combination of factors and sources, including folklore surrounding the European wild man figure, folk belief among locals and loggers, and a cultural increase in environmental concerns.^[2]
