Description
From Ohiopyle, hike upstream on the Great Allegheny Trail for about 100 yards to the Middle Yough Takeout. Sugarloaf and Baughman Trail start on your right side. Stay right at the fork immediately after you get on the singletrack to climb Sugarloaf Trail. It's a steep (in places) ascent to the top of the mountain. The trail can be a little rocky and rugged in places as well.
