Sugarloaf Mountain

Travel | Sugarloaf Mountain

Sugarloaf Mountain is one of my favorite local Maryland spots. A quick and easy drive from my home with several hiking trails, beautiful farm-filled overlooks and a lovely fall foliage treat of colors.

I am a bit excited to hike this little mountain when I return home next month.

Top Five Hikes + Places to Explore

• Mountain Loop Trail - a 2.5 mile hike around the summit of Sugarloaf Mountain.

• Northern Peaks Trail - a five mile hike starting from the West View parking area. My favorite for when my mom comes along.

• Saddleback Horse Trail - this 7 mile loop is open to both hiker and horses, looping around the base of Sugarloaf Mountain.

• Strong Mansion - a lovely mansion on the mountain, available for events and weddings.

• Sugarloaf Mountain entrance road - this scenic drive up the mountain is always lovely. Pop in and out of the parking areas to enjoy the overlooks.
