Wasn’t it named Ape Canyon after the hunters had a run in with some sasquatch back around 1924? I believe I read that in one of Mr. Coleman’s books.

Gee, and I had heard from the skeptics that Ph.D. -bearing scientists who actually believed in Bigfoot were a hoax or at least a misidentification based on blurry photos and questionable footprints. Imagine, to find out they are real after all!

Maybe Mr. Standing could petition to have them protected.

I’m looking forward to this series. Thanks for puttin’ it up. It looks like it will attempt to give a realistic appraisal of the research, which helps to heighten the public’s awareness and acceptance, and refute the notion that this area of research is totally without merit, which will encourage more reports and maybe bring forth more evidence.

And for what it’s worth, Greybear; I’d heard that “ape canyon” was named for an informal group of hikers and climbers who frequented Mt St Helens and who called themselves the Mt St Helen Apes after their mountain climbing prowess. Seems to me that early encounters called these creatures “wild Indians” or “mountain devil” or something like that since the use of the word “ape” to specifically mean the taxonomic line that we refer to today only dates back 150 years or so.

If not for the sasquatch, why is the area called “Ape canyon”?
