Darrington Old Growth Reserve, Lookout Tree & Old Sauk Mountain Trail — Thursday, Apr. 28, 2022

I did these heading out to stay in Marblemount.

Lookout Tree first, on the R at the red lettered sign 2+ miles past Beaver Lake TH.  Walked it out to the broken bridge over Beaver Lake and back.  Threw several rocks from the river into the muddy spot, dry feet now a possibility.

Second I drove to Sauk Prairie Road, parking between utility poles 21 and 22 on the L.  Took the trail to L at Y and a short distance to the Sauk River.  I just recently resurrected this trail and am tempted to come down every time I pass by, awesome and so easy to get to.

Checked in at Glacier Peak Resort, headed to Conrad Road just a couple miles back and up Old Sauk Mountain.  Took but didn't need to use the rake, bushes creep into the trail beyond the Barr Creek Conservation Area.  I didn't get there but someone wrote in the register on the 23rd snow started at 2600'.
