From Trans-Canada Highway, take exit 366 and turn southward on Copperhead Drive.  At the first traffic light, turn right onto Lac Le Jeune Road.  Drive 2.1 kilometres and turn right onto Sugarloaf Road.  Drive 2.7 kilometres to where the pavement ends and becomes 2WD gravel.  Drive another 700 metres and park next to a double-track heading southward.

Zosia and I started walking southward along the double-track just as a woman and her two dogs were returning to the trailhead.  We soon passed a "Private Property--No Trespassing" sign but paid no heed just like the woman we met.  We followed the double-track past a dried-up pond and up an embankment adjacent to Highway 5 before turning toward the northwest aspect of Sugarloaf Hill.  About two kilometres from the start, we veered left at a split and continued uphill along an old exploration road.  Halfway up the hill, this road makes a bit of a long-winded turn, but we opted for an easy off-trail short cut to avoid some unnecessary elevation loss.  We regained the road briefly only to abandon it again to follow a flagged beaten path up the steepest part of the hill.  The actual high point of the hill is covered by trees, but we wandered a little further southeast and found a nice scenic clearing to take a break.  Although we did not go far enough to get a good look, the entire south side of Sugarloaf Hill is characterized by steep cliffs which appear most impressive when driving northbound along Highway 5.

For our descent, Zosia and I mostly retraced our steps except that we took a short cut lower down to regain the double-track just east of the dried-up pond.  We returned to the trailhead without any issues.

	Zosia starts up the double-track which leads to Sugarloaf Hill (right).
	Zosia passes a dried-up pond which seems to be commonplace in this region.
	Zosia takes the left-hand fork at this split.
	At this point, Zosia is following a flagged route which is partly off-trail.
	A beaten path makes it easier to ascend the steepest part of the route.
	Zosia tries her best to stand on the high point of Sugarloaf Hill (1133 metres).
	Sonny and Zosia stand in a scenic clearing about 80 metres southeast of the high point.
	Partially forested Ironmask Hill (centre) is visible to the east.  Behind it on the distant horizon is Mount Harper.
	Zosia regains the original double-track on the return trip.
	Total Distance:  7.6 kilometres Round-Trip Time:  3 hours Cumulative Elevation Gain:  351 metres GPX Data

With lots of daylight left, Zosia and I drove to the trailhead for Ironmask Hill which is less than two kilometres northeast of Sugarloaf Hill.  Similar to Sugarloaf Hill, there are seasonal restrictions for accessing Ironmask Hill although the timings are nearly reversed.  According to the Kamloops Mountain Bike Trail Association, the trails around Ironmask Hill are only open annually between June 2 and November 30.  Unlike Sugarloaf Hill though, the ascent of Ironmask Hill is nothing more than an easy walk up signed trails.

Use the same driving approach for Sugarloaf Hill, but at the intersection with Sugarloaf Road, keep straight on Lac Le Jeune Road.  Drive 2.4 kilometres and turn left into Pineview Trails West parking lot.  The signed trailhead is at the east side of the parking lot.
