Comments: This is an easy-peasy mountain with great views!

I was supposed to hike Middle Sugarloaf today but when I got there Zealand Road was still closed.

After the Smarts Mountain misery it was nice to hike an easy trail with great views. The snow was soft but if you stayed in the middle there was no chance of postholing. There are 4 minor water crossings easily maneuvered. There was very little mud and no ice. I used a pole but barebooted all the way up. A quick, easy ascent.
