Day Hike - May Valley Loop (Squak Mountain)
We'll hike Phil's trail to Thrush Gap and loop back. We encircle Squak Mtn, so get views in all directions. Lots of elevation gain, but we will go slowly, about 1.5 mph.

My Goals: Have fun hiking this beautiful trail. Hear lots of cheerful chatter. Have everyone feel great about completing the hike.
My Expectations: Hikers are at the trailhead, ready to hike, at the meeting time. All are prepared to hike whatever the weather. Photographers/naturalists keep up with the group. Group stays together and supports one another.
My Style: Hike at a pace comfortable for all. Invite curiosity and commentary from fellow hikers.
Meet at 8 am at the Squak Mountain State Park, May Valley trailhead
