"Wonderful after work trail run on the Seattle Eastside - the PNW is just special with its tall trees and beautiful ferns. Followed a clockwise loop from Squak Mountain Access Trailhead, covered the three peaks and returned via the Mountainside Drive trailhead. I made the mistake of trying to save time by bushwhacking West from Southeast Peak to rejoin the trail - stinging nettles were just the beginning... Next time I will just retrace my steps from Southeast peak northward along the ridge. Luckily the fun didn't last and I was back on a proper trail after 15 minutes of joy." — danishclimber • Aug 28, 2023

"My sister and I finally took the old shortcut trail we'd been trying to locate on several hikes. I hadn't hiked it in at least 8 years, maybe 10. Blast from the past! Very old maps and guidebooks by Harvey Manning (the one I have is from 1988) refer to it as Jim's Trail. Both ends are hard to spot, but the trail remains intact." — Al-Rashid • May 11, 2023

"A perfect low snowline day hike. Took the Adventure Trail to the Section Line Trail to the obliterated Seattle View Trail (would not recommend unless you like to suffer a little bit and/or like climbing over hundreds of logs at the same time) to the summit. Overall rating 7/10, amazing views and an accessible, worthwhile peak." — MountainQuest • Feb 12, 2022
