Aug 17, 2017 — Follow the crowded Cecret Lake Trail until the end, and then continue up a ski slope and electrical poles to the east face of Sugarloaf Mountain, an easy Wasatch 11er. Continue along the ridge to Devil's Castle, a really fun Class 4 scramble along the ridge that progressively gets more exposed to the summit, and then gets progressively easier past the summit. There are some great views of the Albion Basin, as well as whatever gorgeous stuff is to the south of the ridge. Continue along the ridge for a while before making your way down a gully of your choosing to the forest road below, which takes you back to the Albion Basin Trailhead. On subsequent visits, we took the fill ridge past Devil's Castle, taking a trail back instead of just beelining down the slope, which makes for a more pleasant hike.
