Continue down the road a few miles and get into even more remote areas of the Nash Stream Forest Natural Area and you will find yourself at a driveway for a camp. A camp that is shaded, but somehow has electricity (I am assuming this by the satellite dish attached to a tree). Maybe they run a generator, but on this day it was quiet on the property. This Sugarloaf Mountain is included on the 52 with a View list and once you get to the summit it is in fact a nice view.

The trail is a clear access road and even has evidence of recent vehicular traffic on it due to fresh ruts in the mud.
A new bridge is present on the camps property followed by an access gate that is currently knocked down and looks disregarded.
After a junction with snowmobile trails, the access road starts the elevation climb that continues for the entire length of the trail.
The access road eventually fades away when you come to the ruins of an old shelter of some type. We also found some wild raspberries in this area.
The summit has a stove on it so I can only image there are some enjoying some camping on this summit, which it is perfect for.
With little to no wind, our trip we were swarmed by thousands of these non-biting flying bugs. It was bad once they finally moved away from the stove and towards us.
The one real benefit of an access road trail with a constant slope is that it is built for the trip down and we ran down this mountain in about 30 minutes.
