Mount Pugh

Mount Pugh rises 7,201 feet above sea level, featuring a steep trail that crosses through forests, boulder fields, and alpine meadows to reach its peak point.

The first fire lookout on Mount Pugh, established in 1916 with a basic tent structure, was later replaced by a cabin that lightning destroyed in 1927.

The mountain carries the name Da Klagwats in Native American tradition and received its current name from John Pugh, who settled near the area in 1891.

The trail to Mount Pugh extends 11 miles round trip with 5,300 feet elevation gain, requiring strong hiking abilities and proper mountain climbing equipment.

From Stujack Pass at 5,750 feet, the path transforms into a knife-edge ridge between White Chuck River Valley and Sauk River Valley with multiple exposed sections.
