there were so many Sugarloaves in the world. Been on Sugarland Mountain Trail in the Smokies but not a Sugarloaf. You don't happen to be a Neil Young fan..."Oh to live on Sugar Mountain..."

Happy Trails,
Mark

Mark,

It's downright crazy...in Colorado, sometimes there are multiple Sugarloaves on the same map!

And, yes, I've been on the slopes of various Sugarloaves with the Neil Young song in my head.

Happy climbing!

You beat me to it! I've been meaning to do a page like this for a long time but just never took the time to sit down and do it. You have done an excellent job and made my laziness a good thing.

Thanks for the comment, Dave. Yeah, I felt like I had to pull these "Sugarloaves" together some how. If you know of additional Sugarloaf Mountains on this site that I missed or if you add a new Sugarloaf to SP, let me know!

Neil Young? How about the "Archies" with "Sugar Sugar," or Sweet
Baby James Taylor's "How Sweet It Is."

Oh oh - looks like I just revealed my age. I know of a Sugarloaf
out in the desert between Payson and Phoenix, but I need to get
some photos of it; while I kick some rattlesnakes out of the way!!!

Larry,

It would be great if you could add a page for the "desert betewen Payson & Phoenix" Sugarloaf. Let me know!

That's awesome. What a great idea for a page. I've always laughed at the number of Sugarloaf Mountains seem to be out there. And now there's proof. Plus I have a page that made the list. Yes!!

Yeah...you know when you see more than one Sugarloaf on the same USGS Quad that the name is terribly overused. Too much of a good thing!

silversummitI passed another Colorado Sugarloaf

Voted 10/10

this past summer when I floated along the Arkansas River ("The Milk Run") and looked it up last night. It is located just northwest of Ruby Mountain, southwest of Bald Mountain and stands 8,403 feet. It practically hugs the Arkansas River south of Johnson Village and is parallel to Route 285. I haven't had a chance to get it's grid coordinates yet and it's not on SP. (:

Kathyn,

Hmmm...If you're going to be out this way this spring, maybe we'll have to head out together toward Buena Vista and visit this Johnson Village Sugarloaf. Here's some info from Lists of John on this summit:

Safe climbing (and rafting!)

I wish I were traveling this summer but not likely! :(
But I would really like to hike with 'ya sometime! I had been to Colorado before but never to the Arkansas River area and now I want to get back so much!!!

And thanks for the link to lists of John. I'm trying to identify my pictures from last summer and had forgotten what a great reference it is!

Safe hiking and climbing too!
