The Paxman and I did this 4.1 mile reverse lollipop loop to the top of Buffalo Peak the other morning before work. It took us 1:50 round trip with a short stay at the summit. Buffalo Peak is the peak that is a little higher than Squaw Peak and between it and Cascade Mountain. The hike started at the Squaw Peak overlook trailhead. On the return side we took the 'high road' (see the bump on the hike profile) but the descent was very steep, I suggest taking the 'low road' unless you like sliding down steep dusty (or muddy) chutes on your butt through scrub oak. I barely kept my footing and almost lost my iPhone.
