We approached Sugg Peak from the saddle below Oakzanita peak. Most maps show Sugg peak as "Peak 5243". Those maps (including the USGS) do not show the trail that skirts the north side of the meadows to the west of the peak. Following this well-signed trail brings you back to E Mesa Fire Road north and slightly west of Sugg peak. There may be better ways to access the peak, but here we left the fire road and followed the meadow to its northeastern extreme end. Game trails take you to an opening in a barbed wire fence near an old homestead and silted-up dam. From there, we made a mostly due south cross-country approach to the peak, staying on the large granite slabs wherever possible. The brush that has grown back here since the 2007 fire is dense, and not to be trifled with.
