Anacortes Community Forest Lands - Sugarloaf — Sunday, Mar. 4, 2018

Puget Sound and Islands > Whidbey Island

I came upon this hike while attempting the Heart Lake Loop. That wasn’t challenging so I added in Sugarloaf in the middle. The steep incline definitely got me huffing and puffing. This is a good short hike if you want to practice your hill conditioning. There are a few unmarked spots where it looks like the trail diverges. It happens to be options for steep vs steeper and gets you back to the main trail. I’d recommend taking a map or a photo of the map at the trailhead because following the WTA description was a little confusing or the trail numbers didn’t match. This would be a great spot for a picnic during the summer!
