Another loaf up Sugarloaf (MD)


DC area's nearest mountain.


On the prowl for another summit, and knowing I had not yet been to the actual apex of Sugarloaf Mountain, I made a beeline for DC’s nearest mountain on August 10—my third time there.
17. Sugarloaf Mountain: I followed the White Trail from the bottom parking area, then cut right to the Green Trail for a scenic finish. The upper trail climbs many steps and passes a lot of rock to reach the rounded top. I put my feet on the highest stone and wandered a few yards to a good lunch spot where the view west was well worth the trouble. Being that it was Kris and me’s six-year anniversary, I scooted home in time for dinner plans at Public House No. 7 in Falls Church, where our favorite bluegrass band, City Farm, was playing.

Miles (RT):  2.6 miles; elevation gain: 800 feet
Cumulative mileage and gain:  74.9 miles / 21,320 feet
