8:00 AM at the May Valley Trail Head. I'm in a gray truck with a German Shepherd.
Discover Pass Required (or $10)
This will be a ~1,700' initial climb up a dirt road to the top of Squak Mnt. We will push the pace and get a good workout on the uphill. We'll regroup at the top then walk across by Bullitt Fireplace, up 300 to another peak, then to Debbie's View for a break. We'll go down Bullitt Gorge back to the cars.
