Description

It's no too hard to see why the Bigfoot Scenic Byway is a place to get away from it all, having cruised its length. In addition to elusive "Bigfoot", the area is home to deep woods, rivers, and small towns that share elbow space with deer, elk, falcons, and eagles.

The Bigfoot Scenic Byway starts in Willow Creek, 260 miles north of Sacramento. The route travels north on HWY 96 where it ends in the town of Happy Camp.

Aside from tracking down or looking for Bigfoot, which can be done during one of the many Sasquatch-related festivals held throughout the year, there's a good range of outdoor activities to pursue. The Marble Mountains Wilderness is easily accessible if you dare, and the area is filled with hiking, rafting, biking, and eighty-nine glacial lakes. Redwood National Park is also nearby and is as enchanting as it is impressive.
