WTA is a nonprofit that needs you

We're just as excited as you to get the summer hiking season started. We're psyched our website, app and work for trails help you get outside.

But we're a nonprofit that runs on donations from regular people. If everyone who visited this site this holiday weekend donated $9/month, it would fully fund our work for the next 2 years. Time spent outdoors is priceless, but every donation large or small helps us support those experiences for everyone. Thank you and happy hiking!

Hiking West Access Trail

The western approach to Squak Mountain provides great access to a number of loop trails around the upper reaches of Squak Mountain, including direct access to the East Side Trail and May Valley Loop Trail from the Squak Mountain State Park Trailhead.

Parking here is very limited, so consider parking at the Wilderness Peak Connector Trailhead 100 yards up the road.
