At the base of McKelligon Canyon is the start for the route up Sugarloaf Mountain. The trail uses rock cairns and red trail markers to help users stay on the right path, but this trail can be easy to lose and requires a small scramble at the top. The mountain tops out at 5,226 feet and has an old hut with great views of the foothills marking the top.
