Sauk River Road Access?

[geosean]

Does anyone know the status of the North Fork Sauk River Road? (AKA Sloan Creek, AKA Rd 49).

I know the FS says it's blocked by a slide, but I heard this might be passable. Just hoping someone has fresh beta. Thanks.

I'd suggest calling the Darrington Ranger District. I've called twice in the past week asking about the Mtn Loop road, which is now open. They've been super helpful and will probably share whatever they know.

Just did a quick look around and there is a trip report from a couple days ago that says the road is passable:

Out of curiosity, can you point me to the webpage where it says the road is closed?  I wasn't able to find anything.  We were planning to climb Glacier Peak last weekend but we postponed because of the weather.  I wasn't aware of the possible closure, that would have been a surprise!

This season I have found some FS road reports to be more inaccurate than usual.
