The 59-year-old  man and  the 37-year-old  man appeared to have  frozen to death, the Skamania County  Sheriff's Office said  on Facebook. The weather and the  men's lack of  preparation led the  department to  the conclusion, it  said. Sasquatch is a folkloric beast  that some  believe roams the forests, particularly in the Pacific  Northwest.
The two men were found in a heavily wooded area of  ��the Gifford Pinchot National Forest, about 150 miles (240 kilometers) northeast of Portland.
A family member reported them missing around 1 a.m. Christmas Day after they failed to return from a Christmas Eve  hike. Sixty volunteers took part in the  search over three days, including  dog teams, drones and ground teams. The Coast Guard used infrared technology to  conduct aerial searches.
Authorities used  dashcam footage to locate the vehicle used by the  couple on Oklahoma Road near  Willard at the southern border of the national forest.
