Sugarloaf Peak is located north of Cheesman Lake and south of Green Mountain. This will be 100% off-trail snowshoe or hike depending on conditions. The final segment to the summit may be easy scrambling. This is an exploratory hike so there may be a few unknowns.
Conifer Staples office supply store. Meet at 7:15am for a 7:30am departure.
As you drive south on US 285, you will pass Aspen Park (there is a King Soopers there), then another few miles to Conifer. At the Sinclair/Stinker gas station turn right off 285, then a left at the stoplight. We will group up at the 285 side of the Staples parking lot just before the Dutch Brothers drive-through coffee shop. As a landmark I have a white Subaru Outback with a roof top cargo box.
Required Equipment
Snowshoes, microspikes, and gaiters in addition to your usual winter hiking gear.
