Sasquad hikes are selected for their uniqueness, solitude, and honoring local folklore. If you are looking for the most popular hikes, there are plenty of other websites that can help with that. We are looking for the trails less traveled. If you have ideas about hikes that should be on the page, let us know! If your hike is featured, we will send you free merch.

This 9.2-mile, strenuous out-and-back is not for the faint of heart. However, if you can take the 3,810 ft elevation gain, rocky trail, and the occasional snow patch, then the views are magnificent. This route may be the most peaceful and best way to get to Wilson Peak. Hikers will be met with views of the surrounding mountains and breathtaking contrast in colors along this hike. Check the weather before you head out and hike prepared. Read more.
