Squak Mountain 5/11/2021

Tracking Failure

My plan today was to hike up the SE side of Squak Mountain to Southeast Peak. I missed the turn for the peak – the arrow pointing downwards above shows the turn I missed. I am not sure how I missed it. There are a few signs on this mountain and I suspect the trail I needed to take had a sign that said something besides ‘Southeast Peak’ (unlike the sign for West Peak, e.g.).

Anyway, I forgot my camera but will remember it Thursday when I come back. I was going to do something else Thursday but this screw-up bugs me and I won’t be OK with it until I actually hit this peak.

I had heard this trail was very steep, but if it is, I didn’t get to the steep section. It is a fairly steady climb, but I do not regard this trail as steep. I guess I will learn more on Thursday.
