Middle Sugarloaf - 04/27/2008

b]Date(s) Hiked:[/b] 04-27-2008

Trails(s) Hiked: Zealand Road, Sugarloaf Trail

Total Distance: with road walk about 4.9 miles RT, about 1040 of elevation gain

Difficulty: pretty easy

Conditions: Unlike Field & Willey, this trail had almost no snow, just a smattering just below the stairs. A couple of easily stepped over trees, had to go around one on the trail above the junction.

Special Required Equipment: None, it was nice to hike in trail shoes & ot carry all the winter gear like earlier in the day!


Trip Report: It had been gray & rainy during my morning hike but the weather began to break some in the late afternoon. This was a great Spring trip & felt like spring instead of winter.

When they were giving out names over there, I believe Hale was part of the grouping

Ahhh.
One of these days I want to head up there and 'whack from Hale over the 'Loaves. There are also Hale sub-peaks (some on lists) with great ledges and views, or so I'm told.

It only takes a little bit of whacking toget to some from the Lend-A-Hand trail. Not even sure the one I'm thinking of is a whacking trip, it may be a short spur.

Now for the whacking enthusist, I hear you can crawl a bit from Zealand's summit to some great views. You can see the bare slope (spots) from South Twin.
