Sugarloaf Ridge State Park, celebrated by Condé Nast Traveler and Sunset Magazine, is home to the region’s highest peak, Bald Mountain, where hikers are rewarded with 360-degree views spanning the Sierra Nevada to San Francisco Bay on clear days. The park’s trails wind through meadows, creeks, and stands of Douglas fir, offering a rich array of habitats and seasonal wildflowers. Sugarloaf is also notable for its community-run observatory and dedication to local stewardship, drawing hikers, nature lovers, and star-gazers alike.
