My little Westie, Tribble, and I parked at the trail head for the connector trail from Squak to Cougar Mtn about 9:30 AM. There was only one other vehicle and he headed to Cougar Mtn. Tribble and I took the West Access Trial to the Chybinski Trail to the West Peak Trail over West Peak and finally to the Bullitt Fireplace. There we saw the first folks we would see that day. There were a few tiny muddy areas but very easy to go around. The trail was in very good shape. We were in partial shade the entire way up.
We came back down along the Bullitt Fireplace trail, passing only a few other people and well behaved dogs on the way down. It was a very peaceful hike and I think Tribble enjoyed it even more than I did.
It was only 3 miles, perhaps a bit less, and about 1400 elevation gain but at least there was no snow or concern with avalanches :). I think a great choice for this time of year.
