There is a new trail on Squak Mountain. It is an extension of the May Valley Trail now making it a near two mile 1700 foot climb. The trail now begins at the May Valley Parking area on May Valley Road now closed to vehicle traffic. The trail begins on the short waling horse path to the road where a nature loop is under construction on the west side. You walk up the road about 0.3 mi. through a mean it gate to the Equestrian Loop trail sign . The unmarked trailhead is about 10 yards up the road on the opposite side. The new trail traverses a short ways then heads strait up through third growth timber. The trail then veers to the west and is quite muddy as it is open to horses as well as hikers. The new trail meets the old at about 1020’ 0.7 mi. from May Valley road at a sign. The trail traverses and crosses the stream on a new bridge then follows the old route up to the Bullitt Fireplace. The old section of trail gets little horse traffic and their passage may be prohibited. Few hikers use this trail and it has a lot more solitude than the Cascades.
