Hogback Mountain is a small rocky peak amongst the Huron Mountains north of Marquette. It was one of my favorite dayhikes during my years in nearby Negaunee. The trail begins off County Road 550 just north of the Sugarloaf Mountian parking area. The 3-mile roundtrip passes some of the areas finest scenery. Come on along...
A Sign! - The only trail sign you'll find on the whole route is just a quarter mile from the summit. Its still a 200 foot vertical climb from this point however.
Still climbing...
Breaking out of the Trees - As you climb out of the trees you see for the first time how high you've climbed.
