Description
This steep, "straight shot" trail send hikers either straight up, or straight down, Squak Mountain. It clearly receives a lot of precipitation and is washed out in places, so just be sure to watch your footing as you utilize this trail. Though mostly devoid of expansive views, this trail does cross a few streams on nicely built wooden bridges. Be sure to stop and enjoy the sound of the rushing forest water!
