Join the Marquette Area Chapter for a challenging group hike!

Come hike with us across rock outcroppings with incredible vistas, through beautiful mixed pine forests, and up the backside of Sugarloaf Mountain. The hike begins at the original (paved) Sugarloaf parking lot and heads to Wetmore Pond by hiking across the Sugar Cube, a rugged series of rock formations similar to the top of Hogback. It then follows the North Country Trail over several small outcroppings before taking the NCT spur going up the back side of Sugarloaf and then to the top of the mountain.

Returning by popular request, Dennis Fattaleh, an experienced group hike leader, will be leading this adventure.

This loop hike will cover approximately 4.1 miles of rugged terrain and is an advanced hike. Note that it includes steep climbs and rugged sections and is not recommended for beginners or those with mobility limitations. Proper hiking boots are required. Expect a few wet spots. Plan on 3-4 hours of hiking time. Don’t forget to bring water and a snack!

We’ll meet on Thursday, May 15th at 10:00 AM at the original (paved) Sugarloaf parking lot.

This event is limited to 12 participants, and advanced registration is required. Please click here to register. Registration will remain open until Wednesday, May 14th or until we reach capacity. We hope to see you there!
