Scott Explores Alaska Trail System Searching for Sasquatch Evidence

So I just spent the last hour glued to a video from the YouTube channel Tailing Sasquatch, and let me tell you, this one gave me chills. Scott, the guy behind the channel, took his two dogs Barkley and Pearl out to explore some brand new trails in southeast Alaska, somewhere about 20 to 30 miles outside of Juneau. And what happened along the way is exactly the kind of thing that keeps us all up at night.
Right off the bat, Scott mentions he's still a little rattled from his last video on what he calls the "cursed river," where he says he was either chased out or escorted out in the darkness. He came up about half an hour short of daylight and had to bail without his headlamp. The guy learned his lesson though, because this time he's loaded up with dedicated lights, a dry bag, and a headlamp just in case. Smart move when you're hiking remote Alaskan woods.
The trail he's on belongs to the Boy Scouts, and there's an Eagle River Boy Scout camp somewhere in the area. But even with that being a maintained path, things got weird fast. Early on, Scott hears a single whistle. He pauses, unsure if it's a bird, but notes he only heard the one. Then later, the whistles come back, and this is where it gets really interesting. He describes them as sounding exactly like what a witness had described to him before, with the first whistle followed shortly by another one, and you could tell there was movement with it. He says it was obviously intentional. If you've ever read witness accounts of Sasquatch encounters, you know whistles are a recurring theme. People have reported hearing whistles, knocks, and vocalizations that don't match any known animal. Scott was listening for it specifically, and what he heard lined up.
Then there's the moment that made me lean in closer to the screen. Scott spots something he thinks is peeking around a tree. He points it out, saying it's "really obvious" but acknowledges it could just be a dark tree or a trick of the light. Still, he says he'll keep his eye on it. When you're out there looking for this stuff, sometimes you find it, and sometimes your mind plays tricks. Either way, it's the kind of moment that makes your heart rate pick up.
But the part that really got me was when he came up on this rock face or old mud slide on the side of the mountain. He describes it as "Jurassic Park looking stuff," which honestly sounds about right for southeast Alaska. The rock had these indentions on the sides that he says almost look like steps, and he thinks there might be tracks coming down it. He couldn't tell for sure if it was a mud slide or something else, but the pattern caught his attention enough to mention it on camera. Natural rock formations can do strange things, but when you're in Sasquatch country and you see what looks like steps or track impressions on a remote hillside, it's worth pausing to take a look.
The whole vibe of this video is just thick with atmosphere. Scott mentions the area is lush, old growth, with huge spruce trees and massive tree falls from past storms. There's a beach nearby where he says they used to dig up huge clams years ago, and the glacier rivers, either the Herbert or Eagle River, are running silty and pure. He even points out where the glacier river enters the Gulf of Alaska, and mentions the wreck of the steamer SS Farallon (though he calls it Steven Straight in the video, likely a slip), where over 300 people died at the turn of the century. There's history soaked into that landscape.
He also kept hearing this weird noise he couldn't identify. At first he thought it might be a drone, but he never saw anyone around, and it was getting on his nerves. Combined with the whistles, the possible peeking figure, and the tracks on the rock face, the whole experience had him on edge. By the time he's working his way back toward the trailhead as darkness closes in, he admits the "feelings are getting darker" too. He didn't want a repeat of the cursed river incident, so he kept things moving.
What I love about Scott's approach is that he's not out there screaming and sensationalizing everything. He's calm, he's observational, and he lets the viewer make their own call. He even jokes about how when you're looking for this stuff, you kind of find this stuff, which is a fair point. But the whistles matching witness descriptions, the possible figure behind the tree, and those step-like impressions on the rock face, that's a lot of little things stacking up on one hike.
If you haven't checked out the Tailing Sasquatch channel yet, this is a good one to dive into. And definitely go back and watch the cursed river video he keeps referencing, because apparently things got intense enough that he had to leave before dark. Alaska is prime territory for Sasquatch reports, and Scott is putting in the miles to see what's out there. Go give it a watch and see what you think.
