Squire Creek Pass via Eight-mile Trail — Saturday, Jun. 2, 2018

Hiked on Saturday, June 3 and only crossed paths with a work party at the bottom of the trail and one other group at the pass. There is six miles of a gravel road to the trailhead, which were rough but very navigable. People mainly had high-clearance vehicles at the trailhead. The trail was generally pretty overgrown, and we missed a few switchbacks but always found the path easily when we looked around. The main challenge was the last 3/4-1 miles to the pass was completely snow-covered. With a downloaded map we easily followed the pass to the viewpoint. Only a few stream crossings on snow bridges were slightly worrisome. Overall incredible views, no crowds, and nice trail, relatively close to the city. The snow at the top made the views better than they will be at the end of the season.
