    Sugarloaf Mountain

     

    Parking: Sugarloaf Mountain West View Parking Lot, Sugarloaf Mountain Dr, Dickerson, MD 20842 https://goo.gl/maps/Schkj987ijSnMw4d8

     
    Parking at Sugarloaf can be challenging so we encourage you to budget extra time for that. We will park at the West View Parking lot past the roundabout (if you haven't been before, keep driving up the mountain until you reach the large parking lot at the end of the road. You'll go past one or two parking lots that are off to the side of the road.)  Please park in designated spaces only.

    We will meet at the covered picnic area next to a VERY large rock.  Please try to arrive a little before the scheduled hike to allow time to check in and so that we can start at 1.

    The start of the trail will be on the right and should be marked by signpost B10.  Weather permitting, we will follow the Blue & White trail - White Trail- Orange Trail (Rock Scramble) - Green Trail. This is a natural trail; strollers are not advised. Please make sure to have proper footwear as this gets muddy and can have steep inclines/declines, as well as wet leaves.   At the East View parking lot hikers can choose whether to ascend the mountain using the Orange trail or walk on the road to the parking area.

    - Wear appropriate footwear and be prepared for any weather
