Join us at the Autumn Squatch! Run, Hike or Volunteer!
Lurking deep in the woods the Autumn Squatch awaits. Will you brave the elements to track him down??
Each year just as the season turns, hundreds of Squatch enthusiasts descend upon the woods of Alum Creek in search of the elusive Autumn Squatch. The first recorded sighting was in the fall of 2012, with multiple sightings over the years.
