 | Parking/Access Road Notes: |
Caribou Valley Road is a real fun drive. Lots of rocks, potholes, exposed culverts, and little bridges to navigate. Very easy in a 4x4 pickup going extremely slow in spots-no problem making it to the yellow gate. SUV’s will make it just be deliberate and patient. Low clearance vehicles not recommended!!! |

 | Comments: |
After a long drive to Maine and an exciting journey down Caribou Valley Road we started at 2PM and made quick work of Sugarloaf. The climb out of the valley is very steep and rough for a bit before leveling out above the ravine. Really awesome views along the way. Sugarloaf Side trail was pretty mellow. Nice views at the top. 55/67 for the stormyweather crew |
