Macks Canyon Road /Sawmill Trails Loop - 7/22/24

Ralyn and I started at the Sawmill Trailhead to head over to Macks Canyon Road the usual bushwhack way. The Macks Canyon Road has a sign preventing any hiking past the three mile point. The Sisters Spur Road junction is at the two mile point so we hiked the road out to that large wash, road, campsite junction on the left side of Macks Canyon Road. It is a road high point. We both had our dogs so we stopped here for some water. On the way back, we checked out a new bushwhack that led us over to the Sawmill Trail just above a trail junction. Knowing the shorter route, we turned here and made our way back down to the cars. It was still cool and dry when we reached the trailhead. Good dog hike!

Stats: 4 miles; 700' gain; 2.25 hours
