Squaw Valley Hiking Trail

The Squaw Valley Hiking Trail in Fox Chapel, PA, is a moderate, but short 0.4 mile out-and-back hike from the middle of O'Hara Township Community Park to Rockingham Rd.

When I hiked this in 2016, the trail had rotten wooden steps on parts of the hillside, so watch your step on these since some of them are barely hanging on. This may have been fixed in the years since. The trail ascends from the community park and connects up to Rockingham Road for short out-and-back walk through the forest. Along the way, the trail passes over Sycamore Run and provides a nice view of the creek.
