Sugarloaf Mountain Loop & Northern Peaks Trail Hike
Join us for a beautiful spring hike at Sugarloaf Mountain! This meetup will explore the Mountain Loop Trail with the option to continue onto the Northern Peaks Trail for a longer adventure.
Date: May 17
Start Time: 9:00 AM (we will begin on time)
Meeting Location: West View Parking Area, Sugarloaf Mountain
Please plan to arrive early so you have time to find parking and get ready. Parking at Sugarloaf can fill quickly, especially on weekends.
Where to Meet
We will meet at the picnic tables near the trail head. When you pull into the West View parking lot, walk toward the picnic tables and porta potties—this is where the group will gather before we begin.
Route Options
- Mountain Loop Trail: ~2.5 miles
- Mountain Loop + Northern Peaks Trail: ~7.5 miles total
Both routes are loop hikes that begin and end at the West View parking area. After completing the Mountain Loop, hikers can choose whether to finish there or continue on the Northern Peaks Trail for the full 7.5-mile hike.
Pace & Group Expectations
Hikers of all abilities are welcome. Please keep in mind that people hike at different speeds. The group will naturally split into smaller groups based on pace, and everyone is encouraged to hike at a comfortable speed.
What to Bring
- Plenty of water
- Snacks or light food
- Sun protection (hat, sunscreen, sunglasses)
- Sturdy hiking shoes
- Trekking poles if you like using them
