Access Issue: Private Land-gate closed and locked by nightfall. Details

Sugarloaf is a privately owned recreation area. The park is closed at night and the gate is locked. Allow enough time to pack, hike, and drive out the oneway road to the gate before it is locked.

Description

Fat quartzite boulders sitting under the North Overlook at White Rocks behind Sugarloaf Mountain. This area tends to have a nice breeze during warmer weather.

Getting There

Better Directions:

1. The official parking lot used to be at the bend in the road. During the plandemic the Stronghold group shut down this parking lot so you should drive down the Mt. Ephraim road (NW) and find a pull-off on the road and walk back to the trailhead for the blue trail.

2. Look for the blue trailhead (North Peaks) in the parking area. It will be on the north side of the road. maps.app.goo.gl/TsrsegfaiKE…

3. Follow blue trail to the overlook (approx. 15 minutes)

4. Follow the signs towards the North Overlook.

5. On the south side (climber's left) of the North Overlook you can find a small footpath that takes you down below the routes to the boulders.

The best way to access the boulders is to walk down to the bottom of the boulder field and look back up at the boulders. They're easier to identify and there's less vegetation just below them.
