Squire Creek Pass via Eight-mile Trail — Saturday, Oct. 5, 2024

We did the through hike (starting at eight mile trailhead) to Squire Creek trail; 8.9miles. Hike was challenging (steep, slippery in sections) and required navigation and bushwhacking. Weather was perfect, and I wouldn’t recommend this hike with rain in the forecast bc of many (slippery) rock slide crossings.
The portion of our hike that was on the eight mile trail was easy to follow and steep. At the turnaround point of the eight mile trail (pass) is when navigation is required. Cairns were helpful but not always evident. The portion of our hike that was on the Squire creek trail was not well maintained nor easy to follow.
Squire creek trailhead is about 2miles to where you can park.
