About This Trail

Imported description

The Sugar Hill loop trail goes up a ridge above the river. There are views of the Virginia Ridge and Valley from the trail. The trail has remnants of an 18th-century settlement midway through it. Sugar Hill is part of a larger trail system. There are a number of other trails that share a trailhead with this loop, so you can take a longer hike between this area and the town. One of the most diverse areas for outdoor recreation and varied scenery in the entire southwest Virginia region is formed by these trails.
