From Darrington District:
Access to the Pacific Crest Trail and Glacier Peak via the North Fork Sauk Trail will be temporarily closed from August 8th – August 15th, 2019.
EVERETT, Wa., July 31, 2019—The North Fork Sauk Trail No. 649 between Mackinaw Shelter and the junction with the Pacific Crest Trail (PCT) on the Darrington Ranger District will be closed August 8th – August 15th, 2019. As the primary access route for both Glacier Peak and the PCT, this trail closure is likely to impact a large number of forest visitors and hikers as PCT access via the North Fork Sauk Trail will not be possible. Through hikers following the PCT will still be able allowed to continue on around this junction as the PCT will not be closed.
The closure is necessary for public safety as trail workers will be using explosives for trail reconstruction and the re-establishment of tread along the Pacific Crest Trail. Very steep slopes at the PCT work site will likely send rock and debris rolling down into the closure area. It is extremely important that this area remains vacant during this period.
