The route

Trail system: Little Sugar
Trailhead: Bluebird Trailhead
Distance: 3.00 miles
Elevation gain: 275 feet (92 feet per mile)
Shape: Lollipop. You hike out, go around a loop, then return the way you came. (A more complicated lollipop can mix several loops and out-and-backs.)
Surface: Natural surface the whole way
Difficulty: Moderate. A route is rated by its most difficult section. Routes marked MODERATE have at least one section where the trail gets narrower, the edge drops off to one side, or a rock or root now and then means stepping over it. You can still find flat footing for most steps, but you'll want to keep an eye on the trail ahead. See examples of moderate trails
