One of our more challenging treks, this adventure begins with a steady climb through the forest towards Sugarloaf Mountain. At the top, you’re rewarded with sweeping views to the west of salt water and islands dotting the shore. The trail then continues to Mount Erie, where you’ll find another incredible viewpoint. Be prepared for steep inclines, wide panoramas, a rewarding workout. Measured pace keeps this hike fun, entertaining every step. Meet your leaders-
