This is a straight forward Hike to the Mackinaw shelter or what's left of it. The trail takes you along, or near the Sauk River, and it's a good idea to check out the small trail to the Sauk River Falls before you get to the main trail head! You'll be hiking under the canopy of old growth forest with plenty of fungi to keep you interested. We initially missed the pile of "debris" that is the remains of the Mackinaw shelter at first, but it's still a good area to camp in if you are going to White Pass/Glacier Peak, or even Pilot Ridge. Just be bear aware.
