When it comes to outdoor adventures, Michigan is the place to be. From mountainous land in our state’s northernmost reaches to gorgeous waterfront vistas, there’s truly something here for everyone to appreciate. If you’re seeking one of the most stunning views imaginable, make your way to the Upper Peninsula for what might just be the loveliest hike in all of the Great Lakes State.
Sugarloaf Mountain can be accessed via CR 550, just a few miles from downtown Marquette in Michigan's wonderful Upper Peninsula.
Lace up your hiking boots and prepare for a 15 to 20 minute trek, which features both an "easy" and a "difficult" route. You don’t have to be an expert to enjoy this view.
As you make your way along the trail, you’ll be enamored with the forested beauty and natural splendor that surround you. There’s no better place to awaken your senses.
Next, you’ll tackle a wooden stairway that leads to the trail’s summit. Take your time as you ascend these stairs, which stretch to a whopping 1,000 feet above sea level.
Upon reaching the peak of Sugarloaf Mountain, you’ll enjoy sweeping vistas from three viewing areas. This might just be the most gorgeous view in all of Michigan.
While most visitors opt to explore Sugarloaf Mountain during warmer months, it remains open year-round. In fact, wintertime views from atop the peak are magical.
So, what are you waiting for? When you’re eager to experience one of Michigan’s most incredible natural attractions, make your way to Sugarloaf Mountain.
