 | Parking/Access Road Notes: |
Small roadside pull off on Kanc for Sawyer River Trail. Plenty of room in lot for Sawyer Pond Trail off Kanc. Sawyer River Road from US 302 still closed. |

Dry Trail, Mud - Minor/Avoidable |

 | Water Crossing Notes: |
Sawyer River Trail near the trailhead crossing was rock hoppable. Sawyer Pond Trail near the trailhead required very tricky footwork on wobbly rocks (wading would have been only calf deep with these current drought levels). |
|
 | Trail Maintenance Notes: |
I recollect a few blowdowns on the Sawyer Pond Trail side of the traverse in the vicinity of the logging road junctions. |

 | Comments: |
Trails were quite dry, even after the rain yesterday. A few very minor patches of mud.
Didn't seem like anyone spent the night at the pond last night. Trails very quiet today.
A few hints of fall foliage.
Chilly, sunny start this morning (officially making August 2025 colder than normal as measured by NWS), with temperatures moderating and clouds building by lunchtime. |
