North Fork Sauk River — Friday, Aug. 26, 2016

Arrived at the trailhead by 9:00 am after breakfast in Arlington. Hiked 10 miles to junction with PCT--scorching hot, difficult climb through the switchbacks. Made camp at White Pass. Many more people than last year at this same time--solitude much lower. Cooler weather on following two days. On layover day, hiked from White Pass south on PCT to Kodak Peak. Climbed the peak--tremendous view, and a very pretty hike the whole way along green slopes for this 7 mile stretch. Returned to White Pass. Hiked the 10 miles back out on the third day.
