Sauk Mountain Trail

4.2-mile Hiking Trail Features A Scenic Meadow Full Of Butterflies And An Old Lookout-tower Site.

Reviewed By Kenpasha - Bellingham, United States

This hike up a trail not far off a route 20 in Skagit County may offer one of the last accessible hikes before winter sets in. As many of the trailheads become difficult to access owing to snow and ice, a venture up Sauk Mountain may give you that sense of accomplishment, as well as some great views of Glacier Peak, Mount Ranier (top only) and Mount Baker. A few miles east of Concrete you'll find the turnoff on the left for Mount Sauk Road. Take this and the pretty good road (you don't need an SUV -- in fact, does one ever is my usual feeling -- ) will take you about 7.5 miles up to the trailhead. Compared to some of the other roads or "off-roads" to the trailheads in the Cascades, this one is relatively panic-free, but you will need a vehicle with higher clearance (like a Subaru -- Washington state's favorite). Only the last 500 yards of the road have some big gullies and potholes, be careful here. As to the trail itself, it is a series of switchbacks on the south side of the mountain, clearly visible from the road up, and in about 100 minutes you will reach the saddle by the main peak, good place for a picnic. The views up are wonderful. From the parking lot to the saddle is a gain of 1200 feet. It is doable. If you start in the morning, or plan a hike (including driving) to last most of the afternoon, there will be no time issues. Remember the sun will set sooner now. When we hiked up last week, there was a little snow on some parts of the trail, but you won't fly off into eternity. Be careful and enjoy!

A great place to back pack with your kids. The hike is very flat and easy. There is ample place for campling in the shores of the lake. The place does get crowded. The view is breathtaking.

Rasar State Park

Reviewed By TalbotsinWA - Ephrata, United States

Rasar State Park is my favorite state park! We spent three days here with our three dogs. There are plenty of hiking trails from old growth forest to meadow to sandy beach along the Skagit River. There is an ADA trail. The trails are well maintained and well marked with nice signage. The river is easy to get too and the banks are nice sand. The park is gorgeous. The park including the campground area is so quiet and serene. Camp sites are roomy with lots of trees for privacy. The restrooms are clean. The staff are friendly. There is a day use area, group camping area, tent camping and RV camping sites. The cost is very reasonable. The RV dump site is conveniently located and easy to access on your way out. I highly recommend Rasar State Park.
