Sugarloaf is one of the most popular short hikes in the Sedona area, so plan for crowds. This summit provides views of the city of Sedona directly below and views of various mountains, red rock formations, and "vortexes" in the distance.

Running

The trail up Sugarloaf Summit is one of the most popular trails in Sedona. The views from the top stretch out over Sedona and the Munds Mountain Wilderness off in the distance.

Hiking

I recommend doing this summit to watch the sunrise, enjoying a 360-degree panorama. About thirty minutes from the Surgarloaf trailhead, bring a headlamp and go up when it is dark, because the show starts at first light, symphonies of color. A must do if you are staying in Sedona.
