Loved the hike. Trail is really rocky and mud everywhere
Awesome hike. Worth the trip and more challenging than sugar loaf
Harder than sugarloaf, but more beautiful! Involves actual 4 point climbing at the top, but not super risky or hard. Bring two bottles of water!
Hands down this is the best hike Ive been on in Marquette. The trail is a little bit tricky to find, I had the help of google maps and a self-proclaimed expert of the area, but it is well worth the search! The hike is definitely more difficult than Sugarloaf which should be taken into consideration if youre looking for all-ages-friendly hikes. The trail itself has gradual slopes winding its way to the base of the mountain and is fairly rocky, and has swampy sections where there are logs and rocks pushed into the mud to make passage a little easier, but be warned youre still going to get a little muddied up! The closer to the base of the mountain the steeper the trail will be and the last stretch is definitely more climbing than hiking as you break out of the tree line but it leads you to a stunning almost 360 view of Marquette and the surrounding area. I would highly recommend to anyone in the area, especially if they are looking for the best views, and a hearty hike that will not take up their entire day (took us about 2 hours at a gradual pace).
Well worth the hike up! Is pretty long, but not too difficult. Be prepared with water and snacks.
Great hike, but signs are a little rough to fine the right path. Give yourself at least 2 hours to enjoy the hike and top of the mountain
Beautiful one and a half mile hike (one way) with a lovely view of marquette and lake superior at the end. Trail is slightly difficult, but worth the trip.
DO NOT USE THE GOOGLEMAPS ROUTE! The trailhead is located at the Wetmore Pond Trailhead, just past Sugarloaf. Amazing hike, flat with all incline and climbing at the end. Much less busy than Sugarloaf, yet more time consuming. Do it!
