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..."
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!!!
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. (:

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:
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!
PS: Sorry - been on the road a lot for biz lately and my head is just fried. If I see one more airplane, hotel check-in desk or email on my BlackBerry, I'll puke.
There's a sugarloaf in Poland too - Sokolica (She-falcon) a.k.a. Glowa Cukru (Sugarloaf) in Pieniny. Too bad it hasn't got an SP page yet and not even a photo of its white rock over Dunajec river. I'd gladly put the page up but have no pics since I only hiked it a few times as a kid.
Cheers,
Kamil

Re: Didn't now...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!

I passed another Colorado Sugarloafthis 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.

Re: more sugarThanks so much for the note!
I've added your La Paz County, Arizona, Sugarloaf to the table.
Cheers,

Re: more sugarThank you, but the hyperlink in the table doesn't work. I think you added an extra "http://" in the html coding.

Re: more sugarGood catch - thanks for that.

Re: Great idea, Sarah!Thanks for the note, kamil. Hopefully you can one day add a page on SP for Glowa Cukra. Perhaps another SPer has some photos???
