I was looking for river hikes to do now that winter is nearly upon us, and I found North Fork Sauk River and became intrigued with the prospect of Old Growth forest and the fact that it is a gateway to Glacier Peak and the surrounding area. I decided to make a "scouting trip" for planning purposes for 2020.
I had planned on hiking to Mackinaw Shelter and back, although I had found out in my research that it has collapsed. As I hiked up the trail, snow gradually began to accumulate. At the 3 mile mark it was 3 to 4 inches in depth. I had traction with me but it was not needed at any point. I chose to turn around at this point, not due to any difficulty, but because I had seen enough to keep me satiated until my next hike.
