Skagit-Sauk Reach Trail — Tuesday, Apr. 22, 2025

The second part of our hike today was just down from Rockport. We ate lunch at Howard Miller Steelhead Park then hiked from the park along the Skagit River. Once past the park, the trail gets close to the Skagit River and there are some nice views out over the river to the North Cascades. At between 1.5 and 2 miles there is a slide and the trail just ends. If you are adventurous you can climb up and over and hit the trail on the other side. The trail becomes an old road and forks, take the left and you can get to the river. We did this a few years ago, but the slide has gotten a bit too sketchy for the grandmas. This is a good flat walk thru a meadow with a view of Sauk Mtn, then cross a couple of footbridges, hit an old road, turn left and walk along a bench above the river. River access here would be most difficult due to the steep drop off, just enjoy the woods.
