I was scheduled to meet a friend in Renton for lunch so I figured I would hike Squak Mountain from the May Valley Road side, since it is easy to get into Renton from there.
I went up the main trail, which was pretty much snow-free until about 2 miles in (1400 feet elevation) when I encountered a trail with very packed-down snow and, since it was morning and cold, it was icy. So I put on the spikes to and from the Bullitt Fireplace.
The hike was 5.44 miles according to my Garmin. I saw about four people and two dogs the entire time. A nice way to start the day, and lunch with Bruce Stobie was excellent.
