Skip the tulip field crowds - let's look for wildflowers in the ACFL! Our route will traverse several rocky outcroppings where we'll pause to appreciate the flora. We will explore 4 summits (Little Round Top, Sugar Cube, Mount Erie, and Sugarloaf) and go around Heart and Whistle Lakes.
We will travel at a moderate but social pace, allowing time to enjoy the changing ecosystems. We will stay together as a group since there are many trail intersections. Plan for a full day of exploring!
