This will be the East Ridge Trail approach up Squak Mountain with a loop via the Phil's Creek or Eastside, Old Griz, and Summit Trails at the top. The exact route of that loop will depend on any possible closures because of last fall's windstorm. Regardless of our route, be prepared to have to go over, under, or around lingering blowdowns.
Pace will be a steady moderate 2+ mph uphill and 2.5-3 mph downhill with limited breaks.
