MI--New U.P. box

From: yooperann (wfisher47@attbi.com) | Date: 2002-08-20 11:38:07 UTC
Placed: August 15, 2002
Located on Sugarloaf Mountain
Marquette, Michigan
Marquette County
Terrain: Climbing a 315 foot hill, but with stairs to help.
Difficulty: Easy as long as you can handle stairs or modest
climbs. Family oriented.

Sugarloaf Mountain is one of the "must see" places on any trip to the
Marquette area. A 20 minute climb through beautiful pine and birch
forests brings you to a lookout with spectacular views of Marquette,
Lake Superior, and the Huron Mountains. The two trails to the top
(an "easy" trail-- with stairs, and a "difficult" trail-- shorter but
steeper) are well-marked and well-maintained. Sugarloaf is on County
Road 550, the road to Big Bay, about five miles northwest of downtown
Marquette. There is a large parking lot at the base of the mountain.
