This hike is a good workout but it is not very photogenic. Still, having started before dawn using my trusty headlamp I was able to watch the forest slowly come into view as the sun rose.
About .5 mile before Central Peak I passed the always nostalgic Bullitt Fireplace:
William Bullitt was a local rich guy. Many years ago he owned much of Squak Mountain and had a cabin there. I heard his wife did not like the area so he ditched it and, at some point (perhaps in his will) he donated his land for a protected hiking area.
So there you go.
I may get out on Wednesday on the other side of Squak for a bit tougher hike.
