Sauk, N. Fork

The Forest Service opens the North Fork Sauk (Forest Service road 49) July 20 restoring access to the Glacier Peak and Henry M. Jackson Wilderness Areas along with the Pacific Crest Trail from the Darrington Ranger District. There are only two major access points into the wilderness, the North Fork Sauk and Suiattle River Roads. “I’m excited this road is open,” said Peter Forbes, Darrington District Ranger. “We have been working hard to open access back into the wilderness,” he said. The Suiattle River road remains closed at mile 12 until repairs can be made.
