The Wendigo of the Sawtooth Mountains

Tweet

The Sawtooth Mountains stretch 43 miles through the Rocky Mountains of Central Idaho. There are reports of a creature called the Wendigo in the area that date back hundreds of years. It is a part of Native American folklore. It was said to be a bloodthirsty creature that roamed the forest and preyed on unwary travelers. Men and women would be found mangled in the forests around the area. It may have originated in Algonquin legends. That of an evil spirit that possessed humans and even turned them into cannibals. The stories were adopted by colonists moving west. It was also adopted by other tribes. More recently a creature resembling the Wendigo has been reported seen in and around the Sawtooths.
