If you are looking for a great family hike, check out Sugarloaf Mtn. This Saturday morning in September started out with perfect temperatures. The entire trail is well shaded with beautiful views of the surrounding valley. We started out on the blue trail that circles the mountain. We then decided to take a right turn at the red trail to the summit. It got pretty steep and rocky. Perfect for a bunch of boys who love a challenge. Once we went over the top and down to the other side we picked up the white/blue trails around the mountain back around to the other side. We did miss a marker and had to back track a bit. This turned our 3.5 mile hike into 5 miles. The littlest at one point said, "Next time we do this, wait until I'm ten!" Well, the next time we do this will be soon. We are going to hit the Billy Goat Trail on the C&O Canal!!

Fun hike! We've just been up and back down and that was good enough for us! It's steep on the way up too!
Sugarloaf and the Billy Goat are some of our favorite family outings!
