Old Sauk Trail

Difficulty	Distance	Steps	Elevation Gain	USFS Trail #
Easy	3.0 Miles One-way	6,092 est.	0	728

Steps are estimated from the hike distance and a difficulty-based stride length.

Formula: distance in miles × 5,280 feet ÷ stride length

Stride length is adjusted because tougher trails usually shorten each step:

Difficulty	Stride length
Unknown	2.2 ft
Accessible	2.3 ft
Easy	2.6 ft
Moderate	2.1 ft
Difficult	2.0 ft
More Difficult	1.9 ft
Strenuous	1.8 ft

The result is rounded to the nearest whole step and shown as an estimate.

Notes

Wind through remnant old growth, mature second growth and young riparian forest on this mossy trail as it follows the Sauk River. The addition of a new barrier-free loop trail, accessed from a second parking area, make this a good choice for hikers of all abilities. Watch birds, view salmon and discover wildlife tracks on this enjoyable outing.
