Douglas fir trees along Old Sauk Interpretive Trail

Old Sauk Interpretive ADA Loop
If you don't want to hike the entire length of the Old Sauk trail, and you have a little spare time after completing the Mountain Loop Scenic Byway in a counterclockwise direction before driving home, doing the accessible Old Sauk Interpretive Loop is a good compromise, the frosting on the cake.  The size of the Douglas fir trees is impressive, and one can sample the Old Sauk trail by hiking a short stretch of it downriver from the river viewpoint.  It would be nice if there was a place to sit down at the river viewpoint platform.  Although the official name of the trail is "Interpretive Trail", there are no interpretive signs along the trail, only the information kiosk next to the parking lot.
