A nice warm day and we decided to drive up to Sugar Moon Farms and hike this popular trasil and some pancakes afterwards. This is not far from our last hike in the area: Sandy Cope Loop.

You start at the parking lot of Sugar Moon Farms, you will see a kiosk and a trail map. This is a 6.2km hike which crosses private property, so it is recommended that you keep your dog at home for this one (keep on leash).

The clockwise loop crosses a few streams and old foundations along the way. The climb is very hard and the trail is well used. Once we start the final climb to the summit, you can see some great views depending on the time of year. Much like the nearby Gully Lake Wilderness, the mix of hardwoods and maple trees makes this a popular hike in the fall.

On the climb down we cross Jane's falls, one of the nicer waterfalls I've come across in Nova Scotia.

Once we were done our hike, we took about 3.5 hours since we enjoyed the views so much, we stopped into Sugar Moon Farms for breakfast!

I recommend that you come early and hike, then make plans to eat afterwards (don't do the reverse ;) )

Avoiding Chores is a collection of interests from a group of guys who do everything possible NOT to do chores. This involves getting into a number of interests such as: hiking, camping, outdoors, bushcraft, running, beer reviews, live hangouts and long term projects like living off the grid or stone carving.
