Squire Creek Pass via Eight-mile Trail — Saturday, Jun. 23, 2018

The road in is long and bumpy, but I have seen far worse, and I think could be traversed by any vehicle (maybe not a Smart Car).

The trailhead itself is fairly quiet, and most of those parked appear to have been climbers tackling some of the many slab formations in the area. The trail up is steep and a bit rooty, with the occasional mud patch to spice things up, but overall is in good shape with hardly any blowdowns.

The last half mile of the hike, near the pass, there's still a significant amount of snow and there were no visible tracks. I'd recommend bringing a map, as otherwise it would be easy to incorrectly follow a snowfield up to the ridgeline, whereas the trail follows a more gradual approach to the saddle by squire creek pass.
