Join us for a group hike on December 13!

Come join us for a rather easy winter warmup hike. The hike begins at the large parking area across from Wetmore Landing on CR550. The first part of the hike winds its way around a series of snow-clad rock outcroppings, with a few minor hills and a few rocks on the trail. From there the trail levels out for a quiet hike through pines and hemlocks tipped with our recent snowfall before returning to our starting point.

Our hike will be led by Marquette Area Chapter Hike Leader Dennis Fattaleh (906-360-6441), an experienced hiker.

This hike will cover approximately 3.7 miles and is a loop. Except for a few rocks at the beginning, the trail is ideal for snowshoeing. Snowshoes or cleats are highly recommended, along with hiking poles. Proper hiking boots are required. Plan on 3 to 4 hours of hiking time.  Don’t forget to bring water and a snack!

We’ll meet on Saturday, December 13th at 10:00 AM at the parking area across from Wetmore Landing on CR550 (Google Map link here). This is the large parking area approximately 1.2 miles north of Sugarloaf and is referred to as “Hogback Mountain Trailhead” on Google maps. Please pull around to the back parking area unless recent snowfall makes it difficult to get back there, in which case we’ll meet in the smaller, front area.

This event is limited to 12 participants and advanced registration is required. Please click here to register. Registration will be open until Friday, December 12th or until we reach capacity.

We hope to see you there!
