Trails Hiked

Forest Road 49 is closed at Mile 0. North Fork Sauk Falls is just a mile up the road, so I did that hike. The trailhead is marked by a new sign, and the trail is in good condition. I think there were two low skinny trees that I had to duck under, but it wasn't a big deal. I had planned on doing North Fork Sauk River, and Red Mountain in the same trip, but those are 7 miles from the closure and I didn't have nearly enough time to attempt them. I added them to this trip report to note the road closure.
Did you find this trip report helpful?

Mike:
Where was the snow level?? Did FS Rd 49 have snow from the beginning??

Sorry for the late response - I didn't see your comment. I didn't see any snow on FS 49, though I only walked it far enough to North Fork Sauk Falls
