This was a fun, informative, and quick read regarding the Bigfoot Trail. I throughly enjoyed it and I felt it provided a ton of interesting and unique information. The photos were an additional bonus! I learned several new facts that I did not know before and I think this book is perfect for Bigfoot and hiking enthusiasts!

Hmmm… This seems to be in a series of books focusing on different spookily-named places each time – Death Valley, the Devil's Tower, Transylvania, etc – but generally is stuck pretending children are interested in the sights and animals on and around a 400-mile trail for hikers in northern California. Yes the views look stunning and no child will forget seeing the redwoods at the end of the trek here, but this is for a browse that will please lovers of real nature and the true outdoors, as opposed to dodgy cryptids. The titles of the other selections prove this is not really about horror and more about being travel books with a faux-nightmarish dressing, and just as attaching the Bigfoot name to the hike ever was, it's just a gimmick that does barely anyone much service. My three stars may be deemed to gain a nudge up the scale if you live there and can try a walk of this or two in real life.

This was a fun and educational book. I would absolutely give it to a child I know. Get them interested in nature and cryptozoology.
I loved the pictures and can imagine seeing while actually whisking the trail.

This little book about Bigfoot is actually about the Bigfoot Trail, the area in California where spottings of the famed cryptid have allegedly taken place. The writer has done a great job of blending Bigfoot facts (is this a contradiction in terms?!) with hiking trail information and descriptions.

So, one fact is that whether or not you spot Bigfoot, you may well need to watch out for a whole range of other creatures, including mountain lions, wolverines and black bears!

It also was interesting to hear that while the Eel River does not contain eels, it does contain lampreys. I had heard of these before, but was not aware of their vampiric characteristic of drawing blood from other fish.

And did you know that somebody actually built a Bigfoot Trap in 1974?

This book is well worth a read for anyone interested in someday hiking the Bigfoot Trail, hunting for mythical (or possibly real) creatures, or just ready to enjoy some really interesting wildlife and outdoors information.

NOTE: My one request would be for the author or editor to please immediately remove the term "American Indian" and replace it with "Native American". It is important that children learn the correct term early on instead of having to re-learn it later. Many thanks!

This series is well organized and the text and photographs and illustrations keep the reader engaged. Bigfoot has always been a fascinating topic, but this book focuses mostly on what it’s like to hike the “Bigfoot Trail” in Northern California. I look forward to enjoying other titles in this well done series for young readers.

This book reminds me of the “new true book” series from the 80s-90s which I LOVED when I was little. I still try to find them to this day!

This book was intriguing and the perfect length for young curious minds.

I definitely recommend it.
