Eastbound: From the Wetmore Landing parking area, head east towards Lake Superior where you pick up the NCNST. Turn right (southeast), following the trail along the lakeshore, turn right as you climb the steps up the hill then come to the intersection of the Sugarloaf Mountain Spur trail that leads to the south.
