Trail Info: This hike begins on the east side of Squak Mountain up to the peak, then around by the Bullit fireplace and down to the Squak Moutain Mountainside subdivision. I saw no one on this entire hike. The top of Squak is a little lack luster as you have a very narrow measly view of downtown Seattle. I have read other's tale of a view but I didnt run across it. The trail winds up switch backs along the East Ridge Trail where there have been a ton of blow down trees. You can also see the chimney of the Bullit homestead sitting alone in the forest.
