May Valley Loop — Sunday, Jan. 4, 2026

Issaquah Alps > Squak Mountain
Tree that people are walking around

Midday hike around the May Valley Loop trail on a standard PNW winter day: drizzle, rain, blinding sunshine, drizzle.  Parking lot only had around 8 cars at around 10AM.  One vault toilet is open and the other is closed.  

Trails are muddy in a lot of spots, but nothing that will suck the boot off your foot.  Saw around 20 people over the 5 miles.  There are a couple of trees down over the trail.  One of the trees a bit too low for limbo and too high to climb over, so people are walking around that one.  The others are just step overs.

For the land manager:
Trees are the at following coordinates:
- Tree that people are walking around: 47.49685, -122.05375
- Walkover #1: 47.49437, -122.04227
