Bloom Group Hike – Sugarloaf Trail

Explore Sugarloaf Trail for scenic views, wildlife spotting, and a coastal hike, with optional visit to the historic Gut.

🌿 Step into the outdoors with us for an energizing group hike along the beautiful Sugarloaf Path—part of the iconic East Coast Trail network. This guided experience takes you along a rugged coastal route toward Bawdens Highlands, where you’ll be rewarded with breathtaking 360° views of St. John’s and the Atlantic Ocean.

Along the way, enjoy fresh sea air, scenic lookouts, and the chance to slow down, take photos, and connect with others in a relaxed, welcoming environment. Whether you’re here for the views, the movement, or the community, you’ll find something to love on this trail.
