Sauk River
The TH is 3.5 miles from the start of the Mountain Loop HWY. The trail is 3 miles long ending on the Mountain Loop HWY so one could actually begin the hike at this point which is not signed. We started at the northern TH which is signed. The trail was dry and in excellent condition. After lunch we had light rain for the return trip and it was amazing how quickly puddles began forming! At 1.25 miles we crossed a small bridge over a creek where we saw our first blooming flower of the year and beaver activity. This is an easy hike with only 150 feet elevation gain.

? I should know the name of this flower as I looked it up after hiking to East Crossing last year and seeing many there. Can't find it now in any of our books, but only did a quick check?
