A Wyoming couple, Shannon and Stetson Parker, claim to have spotted Bigfoot while riding the Durango & Silverton Narrow Gauge Railroad in southwest Colorado. During their Sunday train ride through the San Juan Mountains, Stetson thought he saw the elusive creature, and Shannon managed to capture photos while another passenger recorded a viral video of the sighting.
The Durango & Silverton Narrow Gauge Railroad runs through the San Juan National Forest, an area known for occasional Bigfoot reports, according to the Bigfoot Field Researchers Organization. In San Juan and La Plata counties, home to Durango and Silverton, there have been four Sasquatch reports since 1989, suggesting that Bigfoot might have a presence in the region.
The couple’s sighting has generated significant attention on social media, with many people intrigued by the possibility of a Bigfoot encounter in Colorado. Despite the skepticism that often surrounds such claims, Shannon and Stetson Parker are firm in their belief that they saw the elusive creature. Whether it was truly Bigfoot or not, their experience adds to the mystique of this legendary, rarely seen creature, sparking curiosity and debate about its existence in the vast wilderness of Colorado’s mountains.
