About This Trail

Imported description

It's a bit difficult to find the trailhead. There is a yellow sign that says how dangerous the mountains are. The trail is behind a sign. If you can't find the trail, look for the wooden fence that crosses over from the campsites. The trail is easy to follow from there. There are places where you can get lost, but just look for the cairns. There is a sign at the end of the trail that leads to sugarloaf or the pine tree/pass. Go to the right for camping. It's about a quarter mile to the end and you'll see a campsite with a fire ring. This is a nice place to camp. It is hard to find the top from there. It's to the right of the campsite.
