Harrison Hot Spring, Harrison Lake, British Columbia
Mar 1976
Account
Robert K. Manning and his girlfriend Laura Kay drove from Green Point picnic site up Harrison East Road. Noted large indentations in old snow beside the road. (Not much snow on road) Turned out to be a larger set on one side of the road and a smaller one on the other. Larger set 18 inches by 12 inches, oval in shape, but with ridges indicating which end had toes. Followed in car to Slollikum turnoff, where snow too deep to drive. Tracks came down from Slollicum and went all the way down to the Hicks Lake Road, where there was no snow. Four-foot stride.
