Sugar Loaf Mountain

Sugar Loaf Mountain, also called Sugar Mountain, is a 4,784-foot summit in the Alaska Range near Denali National Park and Preserve in interior Alaska. About six miles northeast of the park headquarters and six miles southeast of Healy, it rises beside the Nenana River Gorge, where the George Parks Highway and Alaska Railroad pass along its western base. The mountain’s locally descriptive name was published by the United States Geological Survey in 1950. Its nearest higher neighbor is Mount Healy across the gorge to the west, and its runoff feeds tributaries of the Nenana River within the Tanana River basin. The area has a subarctic climate with severe winters and milder summers.
