Hogback Mountain - Scenic spot in Marquette - , USA

Always enjoy my yearly fall hike up the mtn. Dogs love it as well. Perfect day for me that is, to get out and enjoy. Cool enough for the hike as to not work up a sweat. 😁 takes about an hr to hike up and the trails are well marked and worn enough to not lose your way. Little rocky towards the top but can manuver around well. Planning for a winter hike this year as well. Get out there and enjoy the best views. 😀

Short but a little challenging hike to an amazing view! Well worth it by far! Trail was only marked with small reflected white and blue squares nailed on the trees but was able to follow it to the top and with the help of Google maps area saved on my phone. Definitely a must if you are in the area!

Not well marked, and a steep climb at the end, but a breathtaking view.

Beautiful hiking trail. When you make it to the top, the views are breathtaking. Be warned though, there is some serious rock-climbing involved. Do not go if it’s been raining, the rocks could be too slippery to climb on when wet. Otherwise, bring you camera, it’s beautiful!

There are 2 main trails that lead to the top of hogback as I know - north and south. I have hiked both and I think south side is generally easier however i would say it is an intermediate level. North side requires more of near vertical climbing, and harder to find way back down. Use alltrail app and you will have some peace of mind hiking this as the trial marking can be improved Once you reach the top, oh my. The view is spectacular especially with the fall color! Need to come to see yourself. As other folks tell, it will be very super slippery when wet so must be very careful. And summer time will have so much bug that i would recommend mosquito net, spray will just do nothing.

The view is amazing. The hike was grueling. But I think it made the view all the better. The temperature was around 8°F and I was sweating by the time I got to the top. The hike was steep. It would have been extremely difficult if I didn't have fantastic cleats on my snowshoes. The whole trip took around an hour and a half with little to no breaks.

Had a great hike up hogsback! Sometimes trails could be marked a little better. We lost the trail but got to the top by climbing next to a little waterfall. Because of this the hike was hard with plenty of climbing. The normal trail is pretty easy but still a decent hike. Bring a compass or GPS and a backpack with simple gear just in case. People have gotten lost and have had to be rescued.

Beautiful view from the top. If you're trying to decide between this and Sugarloaf, I'd do this hike every time.
