Description
From the parking area, follow Trail 215 as it begins a steep climb up the flank of Sugarloaf. Upon reaching the junction with Trail 225, bear left to follow 225 until it ends into Trail 226. Make a right at the junction with Trail 230 until you reach the junction with Trail 207, at which point, make a right. From here, the hike begins its steady, steep ascent up Mount Erie. After reaching the junction with Trail 26 and Trail 216, stay left on 216 to begin your summit push. From here, the trail heads through gentle grades over a saddle before ramping up again to climb steeply. Once at the summit, take your well deserved break and enjoy the view!
