It was predicted to be 94 degrees and we wanted some shade. So we took our daughter and her partner, both new to hiking, to Old Sauk with our puppy and their dog. We arrived around 11 a.m. and headed out. It was VERY humid on the trail with the heat and all of the moisture from the river. It is still one of my favorite level hikes. 2nd half of the trail is pretty dense and covered but still discernible. Crossed over the highway to have lunch by the calmer brook, the river was running very high and very fast. Too fast for our dogs to take a drink without being taken down stream. We caught a nice cool breeze and had lunch and headed back.
