Bigfoot is one of the greatest urban legends of our generation. Just like the Loch Ness Monster in Scotland, countless people have searched for it, and the most compelling pieces of evidence are usually old, grainy videos. Still, that doesn’t stop them from posing for the camera on occasion, and the former has allegedly appeared near the Colorado River.
On May 26, @_colorado_river_expeditions_ posted a video on their Instagram profile with the caption, “Going down the Upper Colorado River on May 24th this is what we saw. What do you think? Is it Bigfoot?” I’ll let you be the judge.
The footage is interesting in that the quality is pretty decent. It’s also from a high angle, while many other ‘sightings’ are at ground level. A figure or creature walking on two legs can be seen skulking through the tree line. Perhaps the most unique part about this sighting is Bigfoot isn’t camera shy and was allegedly spotted from multiple angles.
In this more recent video, Bigfoot appears to stand between a pair of trees for a few moments before retreating into the bush. Despite multiple clips, the internet is a notoriously tough crowd to please. Many are less than impressed by the footage.
Viral Video Of Bigfoot Falls Flat
Commenters on social media famously never hold back, and most can’t shake the feeling that the Colorado River Bigfoot is just a guy in a costume. One reply with over 2000 likes by @Newmanater90 reads, “Man in a costume. You can tell because of the way it is.” Another by @hondo.hunter says, “Cameras in 2025 have zoom you know.”
One by @zayaranger writes, “Hunter in a gillie suit,” although another user points out that there’s nothing to hunt at this time of year. Naturally, there are also plenty of laughs in the comment section. @haroldsturgis explains, “His name is Ralph. He lives around here. Leave him alone.” @jsnjoe declares Bigfoot the “HIDE & SEEK Champion of the world.”
Several other commenters believe the videos are a marketing ploy, pointing out that Colorado River Expeditions is a business. One user, @hyland8808b, quipped, “So, are you guys booked out through the summer now?”
