Sauk Mountain — Sunday, Jun. 22, 2025

The road up to the trailhead is in good condition until near the top, then there are quite a bit of potholes, we ended up parking down the road in a pullout. Arrived to the trailhead around 2pm, parking lot was half full. Very foggy/misty day so there were no views, but there were lots of lovely wildflowers and the foliage was very green. The uphill switchbacks are unrelenting but not too bad since the hike up is short. Saw quite a few other hikers and dogs. Near the top after the end of the switchbacks there are some snowy spots. Did not get to the true summit as it was quite snowy and slippery, snow should be gone in a few weeks. Saw two marmots on the way down.
