Sugarloaf Ridge State Park, State park in Mayacamas Mountains, Northern California.
Description
Sugarloaf Ridge State Park is a natural area in the Mayacamas Mountains featuring volcanic rock formations and two prominent peaks with views across the region. The park contains hiking trails, mountain biking routes, and overnight camping facilities for visitors.
History
The area became a state park in 1964, protecting the region's natural landscape for public use. After closure, community efforts helped restore and reopen the park for visitors.
Culture
The Onasáti people first inhabited this region, developing agricultural practices and creating distinctive basketry from local materials.
Practical
The park is open year-round and offers trails of different difficulty levels for various skill levels. Bring plenty of water and sun protection since shaded areas are limited and elevation can affect your pace.
