First, the hike is nice and beautiful, not too hard.However we had to drive here and the directions showed directly the trailhead, not the parking lot, and so we had to take a bit of a detour to get back to the parking lot, since the trailhead is on a private road, open to park employees only.I am usually looking for hiking trails that are kid friendly, which was partially right in this case as our hiking stroller didn’t do its job really, so at some point we turned around and went back.Parking was plenty, there was a bathroom too and tables an benches for picnics.The trails had small pockets for us to stop and “hide” when other people were around. This allows some social distancing. Other than that, it wasn’t too crowded and people mostly were wearing masks
Another weekend and we did the otherside of Squak Mountain trails, this trail called as Squak Mountain May valley Loop trail which is on South side of the trail.This quiet, little-used trail wanders through a lowland forest and up the South side of Squak Mountain along Bullitt Creek. At the top of the mountain, join the network of trails that lead to a beautiful view of Mt. Rainier (we couldnt get it due to weather) and the historical remnant of the Bullitt Family home.Squak Mountain East Ridge is a 6+ mile lightly trafficked out and back trail located near Issaquah, Washington that features a great forest setting and is rated as moderate. The trail is primarily used for hiking and is accessible year-round Dogs are also able to use this trail but must be kept on leash.Started Saturday morning looking for a good elevations of 2K+. Loved the forest feel, after sunrise we heard echo from gun range.Quiet trail. Only came across one or couple of hikers in an hour. Asmentioned before trail narrows in some spots. Great if youre looking new experience.
This is a great trail head. It is a state park so you need a discover pass, but there is a small, flat story trail thats maybe a third of a mile loop with little bits of a childrens story throughout. My 1 year old loves this trail. There is also a trail that goes up to the peak. Both trails are beautiful and fairly well maintained.
This is a great hike, very shady for hot days. Almost all incline so its not an easy hike
Very beautiful. My wife and I took our 3 year old and her loved it! We also had our 5 month old and she wasnt an issue.
Fun weekday trail run!
Wonderful trails for day hikes.
Did a 4.9 mile hikeSeveral trails off May loop. Some snow and a few blowdowns easily managed. A wet day with snow, sleet and rain. Trail in good shape.
Fairly easy trail with some gorgeous views of the forest. It can be a bit cool in the woods, so be aware of that. The trail is mostly uphill but the incline is fairly low.
Beautiful hikes. The bathrooms were stocked with toilet paper and hand sanitizer.
Beautiful spot for a hike!
Great place for walking
