Our route begins on parts of the Licorice Fern and Indian Trails before visiting the DeLeo Wall with its disappearing view. It then follows trails both below and above the wall. We will explore paths in the De Leo Farm on our return route. Hike on mostly good King County Park, City of Newcastle and long-used private trails. There will be a short, easy off-trail section. The map for the day is the Green Trails Cougar Mountain/ Squak Mountain #203S. (Not all trails are on this map.) The leader's phone number on the morning of the hike is (425) 394-8244.
