Prerequisites
Hiking boots or trail runners. Physical condition for a hike of this length and elevation gain.

Join two nearby short hikes in the White Mountains this weekend, one to Mt. Martha, and one to North and Middle Sugarloaf! Both Mt. Martha and Middle Sugarloaf are on the 52-With-A-View list for their great views. The plan is to hike Saturday, but we might switch to Sunday, depending on weather.

Mt. Martha: 3.8 mi, 1900 ft. elevation gain, map. 5.4 mi, 2450 ft. elevation gain when side-trip to Owl's Head (of Cherry Mountain) is included.

North and Middle Sugarloaf: 3.4 mi, 1100 ft. elevation gain, map. Very steep near the top, with a ladder.

We'll stop for a quick breakfast near the trailheads, and maybe stop for food and restrooms between the hikes too. We'll hike at a comfortable pace.

If you can drive your own car or are willing to drive a rental car, edit the lottery preferences on your MITOC profile to show this.
