Sugarloaf Mountain Trail Guide

Once you leave the Forest Service road, the Sugarloaf Trail takes you up Green Canyon to the ridge, which you then follow up to the Sugarloaf summit.

As you might have guessed, you’re going to be climbing to reach Sugarloaf Mountain. The trail is consistently uphill until the end, where you have a short downhill before climbing again. The undulations near the top create a few false summits.

On the upper elevations you’ll see these old-school notch trail markers in the trees. Follow the notches and you’ll be good.

You’ll see some old trail signs, but otherwise the trail is largely unmarked.

There are some wide shoulder areas when you first pull onto the dirt road where you can park. Pull off the side of the road so that you don’t block other traffic.

The trail is very rocky. A shoe with a thicker or stronger sole will do well here. Some of the upper sections are 100% small rocks.
