Sugarloaf Mountain Loop
The orange-blazed Mountain Loop Trail — Sugarloaf's standard outer loop hitting East View, the summit, and West View overlooks. The longer Northern Peaks Trail (~5.5 mi, 1,100 ft) extends north to White Rocks. Free access; donations encouraged. Stronghold trust.
Sugarloaf — West View Shortcut
Short but steep climb from the small upper West View lot to the main summit overlook. When the upper one-way road is closed (winter, mud, events), this shortcut isn't available — start from East View instead.
