Sugarloaf is 90 minutes North of Bakersfield. The road is windy and the parking area is small. The location of Sugarloaf leaves the trails from the parking area to Portuguese Pass covered with snow as they are mostly in the shade. From there, it's a short 8 mile ride to Greenhorn Summit, or you can keep going to the Yurt and beyond, all the way to Ponderosa. The elevation of the trails range from 5,800 feet to over 8,000 feet at Tobias Peak.
