Sugar Mama Loop (Ranger Summit - Sugar Mama - Snagmore - Boundary Ridge) (snowshoe/hike/mtb)
The ultimate link-up on new West Bragg Creek All Season Trails. This route will start with a climb that will get the heart pumping and finish on an excellent downhill with great continuous single track in-between.
Trail Description: From Trailhead #1, cross the Bragg Creek bridge and continue straight up to Ranger Summit. This is a long steady climb with a number of switchbacks to keep it manageable. Sugar Mama exits on the right 350m before reaching Baruch's Corner. If you want a rest, it's worth it to summit and hang out in the amphitheater at Baruch's Corner, before launching down Sugar Mama. Exit on Sugar Mama and follow this down a thrilling descent for 300m. At the bottom, you'll meet the Elbow Trail and Snagmore intersection. Continue across Elbow Trail and along Snagmore's scenic aspen ridgeline, passing the North of 60 set, across the river on your right. Continue on Snagmore as it climbs up and over a hill before dropping into the Iron Creek drainage. The bridge crossing Iron Creek marks the start of Boundary Ridge. Boundary Ridge provides even more excellent single track all the way back to the parking lot.
Alternatively, start from Boundary Ridge and ride the loop clockwise with the final descent down Ranger's Summit or Strange Brew.
