Let’s tackle Sugarloaf Mountain on foot! Mara Kavanaugh, a Maine native and avid hiker, will lead us to the summit for spectacular views of the High Peaks Region and the Bigelow Mountain Range. Enjoy springtime and socializing (at a safe distance) with like-minded people as you check-off Maine’s second-highest peak (4237 feet)!

The Skowhegan AmeriCorps Outdoor Recreation Program (SAORP) will be meeting at the Main Street Skowhegan (MSS) Office at 8:30 a.m. If you don’t have your own transportation, let us know ahead of time by sending an email to hayden@mainstreetskowhegan.org. If you’d like to meet us at the trailhead, follow this link for directions: https://www.mainetrailfinder.com/trails/trail/appalachian-trail-sugarloaf-mountain. The hike will start at 10 a.m. at the Caribou Pond Road Parking Lot. The hike will be over five miles. It is rated as advanced/difficult. Please bring water, lunch, and plenty of snacks. The trail may be icy–be prepared by bringing spikes, snowshoes, or some type of traction device.
