I actually made it to Southeast Peak on Squak Mountain today. The last time I tried I missed the trail. Today, I used Gaia as a guide (as I did the first time I found it) and found it easily. I see that I missed it because my memory of the trail was flawed. I thought it intersected the main trail farther along than it does.
Anyway, if I want to do it again some day, I won’t miss it for sure.
This was not a photogenic hike in any way.
As I did the last time on Squak, I started in the dark. The first hour was with the headlamp. But this trail doesn’t have many views anyway. The forest is nice but not awe-inspiring. SE Peak itself is wooded. The view (above) is less than inspiring.
But it was about 7.5 miles with plenty of elevation gain to make it a nice workout, definitely beats sitting on my ass so it’s all good.
