FAMILY CHALLENGE
Hey family adventurers — we need your help finding Bigfoot!
At each of the five trailheads listed below and on your passport, Bigfoot is hiding somewhere nearby. We’ve included a clue to help guide your search. Once you find Bigfoot, snap a photo with him and check the box on your passport to show you found him.
This challenge is designed especially for our young Bigfoot explorers, with help from a parent, grandparent, older sibling, or friend. Find Bigfoot on your bike or on foot (with the exception of Nur Pon, which is on foot only) at three or more locations, and you’ll win our exclusive “Bigfoot Gets a Pair of Socks” book created by our very own Nor Cal Bigfoot (see cover below), along with a cool Family Challenge sticker. Limit one book per family while supplies last.
BIGFOOT JR. CHALLENGE PASSPORT
| ADVENTURE NAME | BIGFOOT CLUE | GOOGLE MAP TRAILHEAD LINK |
|---|---|---|
| Lower Salt Creek |
Where the Lower Salt Creek trail meets the rushing flow, above the Salt Creek waters where the Salmon go; Past the rocky bends and the Live Oak shade, look to the creek crossing where your memory is made; I'm small, I'm hairy, and I'm hiding in view, waiting behind the railing to be found by you! |

| Cloverdale Loop |
Hike the Cloverdale Loop trail through the oaks and green, to the highest vista this rocky creek canyon has seen; Say "hi" to the horses and look to the sky, you might see dinner seeking eagles and osprey fly; High above the creek, don't just sit and stare, check under a picnic spot, Bigfoot is there! |

| Swasey (Sheehy Trailhead) |
Start at the fitness park where a Hero's name is known. Find the Clear Creek Ditch Trail and the grasses, wind-blown; Leave the swimming dogs to the creek below, and head where the Oaks, Pines and tall grasses grow; Bigfoot is waiting in the flowers and tree shade, where a chime is heard that wind and bikers made. |

| East Weaver Creek |
Start at the campground, stay in the shade, through the firs and ferns where the deer have played; Follow the creek till you reach the pole, cross the creek, you're close to your goal; On the Day Ranch trail side where the Madrone leans tall, a resting place hides our legend, hairy and small. |
