Located in the White Mountains of New Hampshire, this trail has two summits, each providing a breathtaking view of Mt Washington and the entire Presidential Range.

This trail is also part of the popular 52 With a View hiking list, and certainly deserves a spot on the list. Join me as we snowshoe through forested trails, pass massive glacial boulders, find a small cave, and reach two scenic summits with views of the Presidential Range. If you love hiking in the White Mountains or discovering scenic trails across New England, this is one New Hampshire hike you won’t want to miss. Hike Details • Trail Name: North and Middle Sugarloaf via Sugarloaf Trail • Location: Bethlehem, New Hampshire • Region: White Mountain National Forest • Mileage: Approx. 3.5 miles round-trip in summer. Approx 6 miles in winter. • Elevation Gain: Just over 1,000 feet. • Difficulty: Rated as a moderate hike. Some steep sections, but no scrambles • Hiking Lists: 52 WAV Parking Information Where you park for the Sugarloafs depends on the season. In the warmer months, you can drive directly to the trailhead parking lot on Zealand Road. However, Zealand Rd isn’t maintained in the winter, which adds about 2.5 miles to your total round-trip distance. In the winter, you’ll need to park off Route 302 (Ammonoosuc Lower Falls Trailhead). Highlights of the Trail • Large glacial boulders along the trail • Small cave along the hiking route • One of the best moderate hikes with a view of Mt Washington and the Presidential Range • Two different summits (Middle & North Sugarloaf) • Trail is well marked with blazes and easy to follow My Honest Trail Review This hike is perfect for anyone looking to get into hiking in the White Mountains without jumping into the 4,000-footers. It has just the right amount of challenge (without any scrambles) to make you feel like you earned the view. It's a great balance between effort and reward. The view of Mount Washington from the two summits is some of the best I have seen for a moderate hike. While a few parts are steep, most people in decent shape can handle them. In the winter, traction is definitely needed. The trail is enjoyable the entire way up, with features like glacial boulders and a small cave adding personality to the hike. Navigation is straightforward thanks to well-marked blazes, making it a great choice even for hikers new to New Hampshire hiking. The Views Visiting both summits is worth it because each offers a unique perspective. Middle Sugarloaf features a more open summit with a wide panoramic view across the White Mountains, including a stunning view of Mt Washington. North Sugarloaf, on the other hand, is a bit quieter, offering a peaceful spot to enjoy the mountains with fewer crowds. Looking for a Similar Hike?
