Field trip: GoHike: Beginner Hiking Course
September Hikes: 4 to 8 miles, 750 to 2,000 feet gain - Squak Mountain: Bullitt Fireplace Access
Join us as we circumnavigate Squak Mountain, uncovering its history through its namesake locations. Discover the origins of Debbie's View and the charming Chybinski Trail. Traverse the rugged and captivating West Peak Trail, where the terrain is steeper but the trail is rewarding. We'll learn about the ruins of the Green House there, most likely an old radio relay station. After lunch we'll pause briefly at the Bullitt family's fireplace, remnants of their cottage. Descend along less travelled Old Griz and Phil's Creek Trail, where remnants such as cables, pipes, and spikes from the Old Tie Mill provide glimpses into the area's industrial past.
