Our WTA work party logged out the North Fork Sauk Trail as far as the PCT, including a 40" diameter log at about 3 miles. Big trees on this trail are amazing. Wildflowers along the way included Columbine, Tiger Lily, Mertensia, Canadian Dogwood, Tiarella, and Queen's Cup. We also cleaned up the access to the Pilot Ridge Trail, and sent a crew over the bridge to start logout there.
The bridge at Red Creek Camp has several sections of railing broken. The bridge at Pilot Ridge Trail is a fallen log with no railing.
Note: there is now a vault toilet at the trailhead.

I believe the 40" tree came down on Labor Day weekend last year. I went up to climb Glacier Peak and on the way down it was the only obstruction. Caught me by surprise, and was a great reminder that being in the wilderness is inherently unsafe. Thanks for your work!
