Alger Alp Trail

Awesome trail. We did it from the northside-you park at the Squire's Lake lot. Online hiking directions aren't the greatest though. I think essentially all of the red-numbered signs are old and incorrect, and there were a lot of badly numbered or unmapped trails. Still, we managed to figure it out, so it really isn't that hard. The hike up is a little tiring, but I did it at months pregnant.

Wonderful hike. Clear trail. Beautiful view at the top.

Great view. Nice easy walk up an old logging road. Lots of access to county properties too.

Nice view from the top. Trail or more like forest road turning back into a trail is a steady climb up a 1000 feet to 1325 feet. Stay on road signs 1100 and then 1000 to the top. Nice late season hike below most snow during the winter season.

I've hiked this trail a few times and new logging has affected the trail a bit. On a hot day, this trail can be tough on the incline and you wonder if you're ever going to make any headway but it's totally worth it at the top and the way down is a brisk stroll through the woods.
