North Fork Sauk River — Sunday, Oct. 9, 2016

North Cascades > Mountain Loop Highway

This was a lovely, quiet trip. I only saw four people all day. I ran out to the shelter and back. It's an ideal trail for running, with gentle rolling ups and downs. The trail is very muddy in a few places. If you hike this, you're going to get your feet wet and muddy. None of the mud stretches, however, are more than a few feet long. It was an excellent trail for a gray fall day. The water is flowing fast in the river and it's nice to listen to it as you go along.
